DAC suggestions


I know I shouldn't have. I have an inexpensive PS Audio dac I upgraded after seeing it on the web. It sounds good but I'm looking for better. I would like to get away from some of the brashness, shimmer, sizzle whatever. In the past I have owned several different dacs including Antelope, AMR and an integral dac in Mac 2500 pre. Can you make a suggestion? My budget is around 2 grand used.

I'm curious about lampizator. Aqua voce, T+A. I know there are a million. My system consists of Bat 75se amp and currently but soon to change a Cary 98 slp pre and Von Schweikert VR4 jr speakers.  thanks

My Gustard R26 just shipped from china today. Hope to have in hand by end of next week. Will hook up right away with balanced xlr’s upgrade power cord and play a radio stream through it 24/7 for a week before I sit in the sweet spot and do a leave me alone listening session. My first go to song is Tin Pan Alley Stevie Ray, second up will be Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick whole album. Then select tracks from Pink Floyd the wall, and to finish it off I will use Jack White Blunder Bus. Will post my results when done unless it sounds so good I take a week off work, put on the adult diaper and lock the doors to never be heard from.
