A few thoughts here:
1. Nothing is "wrong" it’s your money do as you wish.
2. That being said and all things being equal, DACs generally display the least degree or perhaps the most subtle degree of difference. Meaning the qualitative distance between a good DAC and a great DAC may be substantially shorter than with other components.
3. If you do decide to buy a new DAC buy used. The degree of depreciation of digital gear is both swift and sharp.
4. Really sit down and think about what you like or don’t like about your system and where you want to go with it. Reviews can make gear seem super tantalizing trust me I know. But taking a more measured approach and spending your money the right way in the first place can save you bundles in the long run.
Good luck and I hope it works out well for you whatever you end up doing!
