While researching the Violectric V280 I stumbled across the Lake People DAC RS 06. And there’s not a lot of people talking about it. It is to the Violectric V850 what the V820 is to the V281. Less options and a lot cheaper ($750). Only one resampling option and no volume knob. It’s described in detail here: https://www.headfonia.com/review-lake-people-dac-rs-06-stripped/
So I’ve always been a fan of lake people/vio amps, sweet stuff. Their dacs have been nice, but never that impressive for the price imo. 750 can get you some really nice multibit or r2r dacs which personally I would prefer
