You might give one of the newer Peachtree units a try, like the Nova 300. I use mine in my home office. I haven't compared my Orchid to the DAC in the Peachtree with the same components, but I think it would be close, with the edge going to the Orchid. The system the Orchid is in is driven by an ARC Vsi55 integrated, with Harbeth P3ESR speakers. It rivals my main system in terms of sound quality. It's about a 12 X 12 room. I'd keep the Orchid if you can.
I've heard the Anthem integrated at my local dealer a few times and like it.
