You probably want to look at U100 as well which is a step up from the D100, with a better Headphone amp. But if you want to go separates, you cant dismiss Matrix M Stage.
it's the other way round - D100 is a step up from U100.

A trustworthy source recommended the Apogee Duet2 to me. You may wanna take a look.

A little too late to see this thread -
HRT MS2 is the only one that even comes close to STX. uDAC-2 is better than uDAC-1 and D1, but none of them sound anywhere close to STX.
DAC*iT is not yet released. Made available only by mid June. Plus its just a DAC, no headamp section.
Been using Nova on and off in my rig for few years. But never had one for myself till now. Recently acquired a heavily modded used Nova and customized it to my requirements, replacing an aging but faithful CR515. Anyways, going by my experience with Peachtree so far, this should be a good DAC.

Not familiar with 9022. If you are looking at the best in the Sabre range then I recently happen to read about the Invicta from Resonance Labs that uses Sabre 9018 Reference DAC. Although I don't foresee getting a chance to listen to it anytime soon - mainly thanx to its 4k price tag!
