Best value per dollar I ever spent in this hobby is the following stack:

 

Custom PC build / W10 / Fedilizer Pro / all fanless / externally powered SSD.

Paul Pang v3 USB on USB battery pack.

LKS USB-100 (Amanero) + LPS / I2S out

Gustard X20

 

Taken as a whole, a huge upgrade in terms of clarity and resolution. Power conditioning, quality cabling and amping is still required of course, but if you are talking about a forward, luminous, clear presentation with that kind of budget I dare anyone to beat it.

 

Caveat: the Gustard without the advanced mods is seriously bright.

Have you considered getting your Klimax updated to Katalyst spec? Rave reviews...

Too expensive

 

Although extremely hard to get where I live, i will look at

 

Benchmark DAC 3 + microrendu

Resonessence Mirus (like the SD card simplicity and the apple remote)

Tweaking the Klimax with Cables, power cords and conditioning (tips welcome)
