A new dac

Posted by Mike K (A) on December 18, 2020 at 08:48:22

I am considering the purchase of a new dac. I seek more resolution than
I currently get (from my Bryston BCD1 or PSAudio GCD). The following units have come up on my radar:

Benchmark DAC3 L or B model, whichever is cheaper
Border Patrol SEi
Schiit Yggdrasl, Gungnir (multibit), and BiFrost
Mytek Brooklyn DAC+

I realize some of these units have more of less features than others, but
all of them have what I need, except the Border Patrol which has no balanced outputs but I could live with that if the sound is right. I
have read everything I can find on all these units.

I do not want a unit made offshore as support and repair could be a serious problem, esp. with Chinese units (I realize the Mytek is made in
Poland). This requirement precludes Chord units, which apparently are highly regarded. All units have a trial period and are returnable.

So I solicit your opinions and tales of your experiences with any of these
units, and thank you in advance for your time.
