can i get a significant dac upgrade over my Lumin d2 for 2k?

going to take my first plunge into standalone dac

went from bluesound to lumin d2

moving to using the bluesound as a streamer feeding DAC feeding power amp

IMPORTANT, next dac needs to be able to drive a signal well direct to power amp

leaning towards the new gustard r2r

is 2k enough to get me a big upgrade?
