#1 Topping D50 III: $229.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: Audio Science Review measured 123 dB SINAD, so its noise and distortion are transparent. It packs USB-C, optical, coaxial and LDAC Bluetooth inputs, a remote controlled volume, 10 band parametric EQ and balanced TRS outputs into a compact chassis for an amp or powered speakers. It matches the rating of the Topping D900 for a small fraction of the price.
Cons: Balanced output uses 6.35 mm TRS jacks rather than XLR, so XLR gear needs adapter cables. Bluetooth lacks aptX and AAC, offering only SBC and LDAC.
