I've got a few DACs here and found the Prism Orpheus to be the best lens to hear my work through for translation, enjoyment, etc.
I also really like this Weiss DS1 MK2 that I'm using to feed the analog chain, but that's a pretty far-out price tag.
Of the Lavry, Mytek, Hedd and Apogee crowd, they are all pretty much in the same territory, but they don't always bring the consistency that I hear with the higher dollar converters in the dynamics end. They also seem to be a bit more picky about what they are plugged into. YMMV
