Best DAC for my system?

Thinking I would like to add an outboard DAC to my system.  I have Forte IIIs, McIntosh MC2105, McIntosh MX119 and I use a Bluesound Node2 for streaming.  What would be best options in the $500 range?  Or do I need to spend more on the DAC to make enough improvement over the Node2 DAC?  Thanks....

From what I have read about Topping Dacs I would pass on those.
Plus there is way more in what we hear than just measurements, but that’s another topic! Also forget about MQA. Not any better.  I would pick up a Schiit r2r Dac Bifrost or Modi. Excellent stuff. No listener fatigue and beautiful. Great American company that sells direct.
