DAC better than Denafrips Pontus II

As I try to finish out my system, looking at user recommendations for DACs better than the Pontus II.  This is one area I have not spent a great deal of time on (the digital side) but I have not found anything negative against the Pontus II or the Ares II.My transport will likely be the Nuprime CDT-8 Pro.  I like the AES to AES ability between these two devices.  From what I've read, it's the best connection.All comments appreciated.

I sold my Pontus 2 and bought an ANK 4.1x assembled by Digital Pete.

Used they go for $2,500-$2,800. 

For the same Pontus 2 @ $1,700 but  better SQ you would be looking at obscure

stuff from eastern Europe. No features either.

Keep the Pontus and be happy until you are ready to up

your game.
