DAC for Cal Audio Labs CL-10


I have a Meridian 588 and a Cal Audio Labs multi disc CL-10 player. I also have Nautilus B&W 802 speakers and a Bryson 4BST amp and BP-25 preamp along with Audio magic power conditioners. I am wondering if there is a $500 DAC that would improve my multi disc sound output? I listen to female vocalists and jazz and would love to hear any suggestions to try.

I also use a CAL Alpha with a Cal CL-10 with great results.
The CL-10 is very capable on its own, but the Alpha is warmer and throws a huge soundstage. Like zinfan, I even prefer the sound of HDCDs through the Alpha even though they lose the benefits of HDCD decoding.
