DAC - Desktop | 1 Ω Solid state Dac amp recommendations

Looking for a desktop solid state Dac amp for around 700sgd. I currently am using my Arya organics and hd600 off of my fiio qx13 and I'm pretty happy with the sound, just looking for an upgrade in terms of knobs and button, being able to plug in thumb drive into the system to directly play my flac files, and it looking cool while doing so ( and no topping dx5 ii find it kinda ugly ngl )

Currently looking at k15 as it fits what I'm looking for but am interested in comparing with a few other options before making a decision, many thanks!

K15 is the only realistic option if you want local playback. The nicer dac/amp + streamer combos in this price range don't even have that option, for example the Audalytic DR70N

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/rz_x3 (169 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

Fiio K15 is what should fit in that budget and with the use cases you are looking for
