Other folks mentioned similar traits for the Ares II, which has steered me away from it.

The PS Audio DACs are well regarded by many. If a good used one comes up, it will be given consideration.

Because used gear can't be auditioned, I have been looking more at new DACs. I actually prefer finding audio equipment that is not one of the "name brands". More offbeat has a lot of appeal. Much of my gear consists of brands that are not as well known.

I'll take a look at the SMSL. The link is appreciated.

I like gear that is as neutral as possible. Are you familiar with any DACs that seem to be more neutral?

Your pictures show a Schiit Vigar. I'm giving some serious thought about trying one. I auditioned it at the Schiit showroom but had a difficult time evaluating it. Too many variables. What do you think of it?

Thanks for the many details.
