Dac that has tone and timing?

I’m hoping to see if anyone has experience and has found a dac that nails both a "meat on the bones" presentation that also preserves the leading edges of notes and maintains pace, rhythm, and timing. In general, it seems that tonally dense dacs tend to have rounded-off leading edges of notes, and dacs with great PRAT have a leaner tonality. I’d love it under $5k but willing to spend more if necessary.

I am a big fan of Denafrips and Vinshine audio.

I had the Ares II and have recently upgraded to the Venus II 12th edition skipping over the Pontus.  For my system (The rest of the equipment) it sounds amazing very analog and very detailed as well.  I can hear every note, cymbal, bell etc. You can get one for well within your budget.  Vinshine is the global dealer based out of Singapore and they are outstanding.  The prices on their website are in Singapore dollars so less in US dollars.  Alvin runs the place and will answer any question you may have within a day.  I am exceptionally satisfied and would not spend more unless my system was a lot more expensive....
