You sound like a great candidate for one of the newer multibit R2R non-oversampling (NOS) DACs. Many people find them to be more "analog" or "organic" sounding than the more prevalent single bit or delta sigma DACs. A couple options in the $2000 range that offer in-home trials in case you want to explore this route:
This one uses low-level tubes in the output stage...
