Meridian explorer is very CV good. If you or somebody visiting US get it. It's value for money. You can find reviews comparing it with other dacs

The advantage of Explorer is the portability. But, If one can compromise on the portability (OP is looking for a DAC for PC), it would be better to go Acoustic Portrait's DAC that has got launched recently (at a slightly higher price point ~20-22K vs Explorer's $200).
It has got a good feedback from FMs Aurobindo Saha and Arj here
Hello Auro, could you please add some pics?Hi,
Acoustic Portrait has launched headphones amplifier. Combine that with Acoustic Portrait Swara Streamer and DAC .... Your chain is complete. You get a fantastic output. Headphones such as HD-598 has very very natural sound signature with chimes with Acoustic Portrait's design philosophy - Pure, Dynamic and Expressive. And price-wise it's good value for money.
The only issue I see with such set up is you get stationed in one place. My HD-598 is open back hence I prefer to use it indoors. However for mobility I use HD 429 or earphones with AudioQuest Dragonfly black DAC with my phone.
Thanks
Auro
Hello Manju, could you please elaborate on your set up? Probably as a separate thread in DIY section.Arunvivek, do take a look at DIY options - I just did the RPI 3 and Justboom amp, it was so terrific, I like the sound singature much better than the Ifi ones. I sincerely believe that the good amp need not be expensive.
Sorry, I do not have any pics, I am yet to purchase that.Hello Auro, could you please add some pics?
