A Dac about two thousand used

And as an addendum to my Yamamoto recommendation, I would also suggest that you don't get too caught up in just the DAC chip used in a DAC (though these are important and will affect the sound). Do not forget the importance of a great power supply and a great analog output stage.

Just get the new Oppo.

Are there even any reviews of the new Oppo out there? Only been out a week. And judging by the improvements offered by ModWright, the power supply and analog output stages can be improved to a considerable degree.

Not that it doesn't look awesome. But if the OP is looking just for a DAC, then I'd go with a dedicated DAC where money isn't spent on headphone outputs, video circuitry and a transport mechanism.

It would be helpful to know what you currently have and what sound characteristics are important to you and/or you would like to improve. Otherwise this is just shooting in the dark.
