I've had the original magni/modi combo for at least 3 years now and I'm looking to upgrade. I was looking at the Jotunheim but I dislike its larger size and I'm wary of getting the same RF interference issues I experienced with the schiit stack. So what are some good recommendations for a amp/DAC combo (either separate or integrated units) that pairs well with the HD650's for under $450 total? Preferably something that is stacked vertically like the schiit stack instead of being wide and flat that takes up a large desktop footprint.

Replace the Magni with a Darkvoice 336SE tube amplifier, $240.

AudioGD NFB-11 if you can have it taking up real estate to the rear.
