OK, the new Oppo DAC is at the top of my list and I am also looking at the Mytek DAC!
I am looking at both SS and tube options. We are working on some discrete phono designs and from this is coming some interesting circuitry, including discrete op-amp circuits that could be used to make a FANTASTIC SS mod in addition to tube mods.
In the case of the Brooklyn, where space is at a premium, a possibility would be to build the entire mod stage in a separate enclosure that could sit directly on or over (next shelf) via short interconnects.
Again, I thank you for the feedback and welcome thoughts relative to the above.
