Addons, i.e. regen, reclock, isolate - are they needed?

For $179 the Schiit Eitr might be worth a shot. It's garnered some great reviews and you can return it if it doesn't suit you.

Please do not take this wrong, but it is a mixed up world 'cause of Lola if this does sound better.

As a caveat, something like the Uptone Regen might help if for no other reason than it replaces the USB input power.

 

I was thinking along these lines as well (with the added reclocking and USB/SPDIF conversion).

@creativepart .. my Schiit Eitr suggestion was primarily due to their Gen 5 USB technology which may (or may not) be superior to the USB input on the BM1. Lots of folks think it's up there with the best of them. Of course, if you decide to go with an Yggy the point is moot. There are so many great DAC choices today .. best of luck.
