I’ve spent past week researching Dac’s. To bad I’m looking for a smaller headphone amp/dac for a new pair of headphones.
GLWS.

Thanks. Good luck with the rabbit hole.
Every few reviews I get the one that says they all sound the same so it doesn't matter what you buy. Thankfully I'm retired and can devote/waste too many hours down the audiophile rabbit hole. At least I decided on a pair of headphones.
Yep, that’s a rabbit hole but there are only couple of manufactures of DAC chips - ESS Sabre, AKM, ROHM, TI and Cirrus Logic and it will come down to implementation.

I think the law of diminishing returns is strong with DACs. The initial step up from an aux cord to a decent DAC is big but after that, I think it's mostly cork sniffing. But sniffing is fun.
