DAC decision, help please

Hi, all

I am wondering can anyone offer their thoughts, comments or opinions about the merits/flaws of the following DAC's: Audio Research DAC1/20 bit, Adcom GDA 700 HDCD, and CAL Simga II 24/96. I am going to make a choice between the 3 to use as a outboard DAC for my CAL Tercet MK III (which is already outstanding). I am looking for a DAC that can throw a decent sound stage and convey the human voice and traditional jazz ensembles with warm emotion. My system is soley used for me to unwind after a long week at work and for dedicated listening sessions with my lady on Sunday nights (after the Saprano's of course). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sean,

I also own the EVS Millennium DAC II fed by a Accustic Arts Drive 1 transport. I am thinking of upgrading to the Audio Aero Prima D/A Converter (24/192). Do you think this is a step up? down? awash? If you were to replace your DAC II what would be your chose?
