DAC Suggestions


I’m in the market for a new stand alone DAC upgrade from my current Border Patrol which is fed by my Innuos Zenith Mark III server.. My budget is $3K - $6K new  only & like the natural, minimally “ digital” sound of my existing one but would like some more detail, a bit tighter bass & better imaging while not sounding fatiguing like many high end systems I’ve heard. Some reviewers suggest that a non over sampling DAC is usually the best way to achieve this, what do you folks think? 

Does such a unit in this price range exist in anyone’s experience? 
 

Thanks for your help.

Bryston BDA-3 (made in Canada)

Wyred4Sound DAC-2v2SE

Mcintosh MDA200 ( has replacable dac module)

I have only had experience with Byrston streamers but the support is good.

Wyred4sound support good as well. I have one of their moded Sonos ZP 90 and its  been in service for many moons.  Their products are also built in USA.
