USB out : What are the options to improve SQ

I think speaker upgrade is the one that makes the most difference....
+1 to that.

High quality digital music is pretty common these days and available everywhere. So I believe my the priority would be like this:

Speakers>amp>dac

Sent from a handheld device. Some typos may creep in
 
I have made the same dac based on burr brown pcm 1798 and it sounds pretty good. I am not using the tube output and have replaced the 10 uf output capacitors to polypropylene ones.

The other DACS in my list are a fiio e7, philips nos dac, few cirrus logic diy dacs, a quad Wolfson diy dac, the ODAC, a TEAC Burr brown high res DAC and a SMSL M8 DSD capable DAC.

Which alternate ones are you using for 10 uF ?

Even I have removed the tube buffer to just see how it sounds. My initial impressions is that I can't make my mind whether it is good or bad. Some songs sound good and some songs are different!
 
Audiofly USB DAC? It’s a Sterephile.com budget component of the year recurrently. I don’t own one but curios to hear any views for my next bedwroom setup.
