Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?


I have an Ayre CD player, BADA Alpha DAC, deHavilland Mercury pre-amp, CJ MF-2500A amp and N802 - am looking to upgrade amp.
Would like to hear views on Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution.
Not married to tube or SS..
Always wonder about Stereophile recommended components such as Aesthetix Atlas, Parasound JC-1, CJ LP-125 and the likes. I would pay about $5k on Agon so there are some limitations.
Thanks.

First - thank you all for your responses. All very helpful.
While I am happy enough with the sound, I have heard other systems that deliver so much more in the areas I mention - and I know you dont have to spend a fortune.
From what I am reading I should sell my N802s - pity because they are beautiful speakers....
Do the 802D or 803D have the same crossover issues?
ANyone like Harbeth's?
