Agree with Vic. If you don't say what you're trying to change/achieve in the overall sonic characteristics of your system, what you did not like about the PS Audio DAC, your current CDP/transport/DAC, etc., you're going to get a bunch of uninformed and less helpful recommendations.
That said, I personally would not buy a $2k CDP today. I'm not a computer guy in the least, but the handwriting is on the wall that even a fairly modest, well-implemented computer-based system can far eclipse virtually any $2k CDP and rival players several times that cost (for example, see Paul Candy's review of JPlay on Positive Feedback). So, unless you're resigned to never enter the computer-based world, I'd buy a good DAC that you can use and be happy with now with an eye toward using it as the heart of a computer-based system in the future.
Best of luck.
