Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?

Hi,
I own a Musical Fidelity Upsampling DAC, I bought it a while ago to replace a EAD 7000 III It's a pretty good unit though I always thought it was something of a sideways step compared with the EAD.
So, can anyone recommend a DAC in the $1500 (used) range that would knock the spots off the A324.
Or....would anyone suggest that there is little or nothing to be gained without going to a much higher priced unit?

Your thoughts please.

Thanks
rooze

Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler... pun intended.
No offence to A324 owners, of course I am talking about comparable units.
In my opinion, MF's approach to digital is flawed in its concept. I have yet to hear their digital component with natural sound.
Besides, I would avoid using up-sampling in general. It does nothing goot to sound.

Rooze,
One thing to try would be to get a used Bitstream DAC and send it to John Wright for his latest modifications. You will be very well within your price range and have the sound that will beat most SACD players.
