People are chanting about SQ is a matter of taste (or lack of the same), but I can't believe that anyone who have listened to some absolutely HighEnd Vinyl-based setups and a gang of digital once can be able to ask why VINYL records still exist?!? I'll tell you why: because totally regardless bits and hertz VINYL simply sounds much better than any compatible music sources! And it's not more expensive either: read and LISTEN! Invest in very good RIIA, arms (REGA RB-300 is extremely cheap and a masterpiece for the bargain) and pick-ups. RIPPING DIGITAL MUSIC (w-3D printers) FOR MAX ANALOGUE SOUND SOUNDS SO INTERESTING!

ALL subwoofers produced despite the price are totally ruining MUSIC. They're way too slow. But as a part of most 5.1/7.1-7.2/9.2 system for watching movies, they're actually a must!

For music ANY subwoofers are really the worst thing ever invented a human can possibly put into a setup. For Movies they're the exact opposite! I'm very impressed by the smallest Genelecs but they're larger siblings was a disappointing experience. (HEGEL HD-12 DAC)

Try out Schiit's products! The two men behind that fantastic brand are true Geniuses in the audio world. They're a few of the men on earth who actually have enough knowledge to see that 24bit files actually don't exist. Due to this fact they're new top notch DAC is 21bit and sounds absolutely astonishingly. Without any kind of doubt the best I've ever heard in that price range. BUT they're making really cheap DACS as well. They're combos of headphones amps + Dacs are very cheap and fantastic built. I bought a couple of USA made OPPO HA-2 about a couple of weeks ago. That is an awesome product, within your price range. Supports DSD 11.xxx files + PCM 32bits/384kHz. The production design is extraordinarily high leveled as well. Absolutely usable both as portable and stationary DAC/AMP. Go for Fulla Schiit instead of Dragonfly if you want something real cheap and designed by the best men in this world!! Good luck. Remember to pay for Norwegian player TIDAL (totally lossless). Great library!
