DAC Suggestions Please


I currently have two DACs in my system which are internal to other components.  My front end is an OPPO 105 and my pre-amp is a Classe Sigma SSP.  What recommendations do any of you have to improve my DAC performance.  What price point should I be looking at to really improve everything.  Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Ok, I'm a little confused.  Do you use the Classe SSP for processing only and feed that into the P7?  Why two preamps in the first place? I must be missing something here. 
What's the rest of your system?  Maybe money better spent elsewhere?

I'd think $2k could get you a good improvement in a DAC.  Two possible options, there's a used Metrum Hex DAC on eBay for $1700, or an Oppo Sonica DAC and have it modified by Ric Schultz at EVS for 700 bucks:

Best of luck.
