Bryston BDA1, where from here?


I have a BDA1 and a Wyred 4 sound STP-SE Stage 2 and some Bel Canto Ref1000 original series. Wherever I go from here as far as DAC? I want to do DSD but also want good deep wide sound stage and I want it for around $1000 used. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Tough to get all that you want for $1000. If you don’t need balanced connections Chord Qutest, if you do the look into Benchmark DAC3. Just going based on my experience with Bryston BDA-3, Chord Qutest and my current DAC Benchmark DAC 3. The Chord DAC has a neat option to select filters that allow you to tweak the sound to your liking. However these will most likely be slightly over $1000 on a used market.  
There are other options like the Topping D90 but I haven’t heard it in my system so can’t really say if it’ll do.
