Not many options at that price point. Given that it needs 2 mics / stereo pair to match it's recording abilities.

I'm using an Avenson STO-2 stereo pair. Decent on some things with proximity. But not much low end and if you've got some distance from the source, less than ideal.

I'm wanting a Crown Sass-P MK II. But I have considered swapping in Oktava MK-012s, Rode NT-5s, or Beyer 930's. Lots of stereo pair options for < $1K USD. But not many pairs for < $200 USD. For that price point, a pair of Shure SM58's might be a good starting point. With proximity. Or just a single good mic and extract the single L or R channel in post.

For DSD you pretty much have to convert to PCM to do anything with it.
