I think I bought a microphone once from Sweetwater but never any expensive audio gear. You can always call one of them and tell them you never pay MSRP for super expensive audio gear. Maybe they negotiate with you.
I own this amazing DAC, and I can easily recommend this one.
Schiit Audio Yggdrasil+ OG DAC; D/A Converter; Unison USB - The Music Room
The new Schiit Byggi could be great. I am getting that when they call my position in the queue. I am converting a Schiit Yggi+ MIB to the Byggi.
This DAC is the best DAC I ever heard and is in my plans to eventually get it. Though I want to hear the Imersiv.
Allnic D15000 – Allnic Audio (one I heard at my house is not on the web site yet. It is the top of the line)
Both the Allnic and Imersiv DACs were at the LA CamJam show a few weeks ago. I had a kid’s birthday at the last moment and could not go to hear these 2 DACs.
