@lovelygiraffe4883 it depends on who you ask. Audiophiles typically fall into two categories, subjective reviews (people) and objective reviews (measurements).
Objectively this DAC is the best at this price ($180). Below is the audio science review's SINAD scores for all the DACs they've tested.

I checked on Amazon and everything that scored better is more money. You may find a deal, like this one, where something is on sale and beats it in the future though.
Subjectively, this has been well reviewed but you'll need to take it home and listen for yourself.
My take, I just placed an order for one to add it to the collection. This will be my highest rated DAC. If you want to play the subjective game then the one to purchase is the Schiit Modi Multibit, but it goes for ~$350/250 new/used if you can find it.

^ This. I also own the SU-9 and it's amazing. But a DAC is fine tuning an already good system, it's not going to make your SHP9500s sound like a Focal Clear. If you have a Clear or even an Elex or an Ananda level headphone then a good DAC is a no brainer. Even with an HD600/650/6xx/660S. But with entry level mid-fi and lower....get a cheap all in one.
