Meh, I realized I can’t go back to my AN DAC since I also need the DAC to have volume control/be my pre-amp.
So now I'm looking at: Bricasti, dcs, Lampizator, Manhattan. Maybe eventually the Ayre; I'm not sure why but I'm not as jazz'd about the Ayre for some reason, even though I've loved their amps for years (and have them now).
The Lampi sort of reminds me of my AN a bit, but they're fairly rare on the used market, then there's whether it was built with my feature needs of vol control, usb, balanced out.
