$1300-1500 DAC

I’m thinking of adding an external DAC to my secondary system. I’m running a bluesound node 2i, RCA out to a Schiit freya+, RCA out to an Accuphase P-250 (beautifully restored) amp, to a pair of ascend acoustics Sierra 2ex. It already sounds awesome, but y’all know how this is... I want more. 

Im looking at a Schiit Gungnir Multibit... the price is right and it’s well reviewed. 

I will say that, in my main system I use a Simaudio Moon 280d and it’s awesome. 

Any thoughts? What else should I be looking at?

Not sure if your only thinking new stuff or used equipment but you can get your mits on a pretty nice used DAC for that price point here on Audiogon.
For the price point mentioned I would keep an eye out for some of these offerings:
1. Benchmark DAC1 or DAC2
2. Ayre QB9
3. NAD m51
4. Bel Canto DAC3
I’ve owned each one I’ve listed in the past and they are all great options IMO
