DAC Upgrade

I currently using a Bryston BDA-1 DAC and although it is a pretty good DAC, I want to upgrade to a 2r2 DAC. I recently purchased a Jays Audio cdt2 mk.ll transport and it is exceptional. My budget is in the $2,000 range and after careful review, I have narrowed the list to Schitts-Yagdrasil, Denafrips-Pontus and Holo Spring 2 level 2(new). Unfortunately, It is difficult to compare the three of them side by side, so I have to rely on expert reviews. I am looking for a DAC that is transparent, extended but smooth highs, 3D midrange and tight bass. My equipment is Prima Luna Prologue Pre Amp, Prima Luna Dialogue HP Amp and Silverline Sonata Mk.III speakers. Any thoughts?

I'm 59.  I've been an obsessed audio geek since I was a teenager.  Up-graded sooooo many times.  You could fill a good sized room with all the pieces I've sold.  My system now is comprised of Audio Research, B&W, PS Audio, McIntosh, Revox (B77 MKII), Kimber, Furutech and others.  I've got around 55K into my current system.  Which to some will be sound like a lot and to others a poor man's system: or a "drop in the bucket."

I inserted the Schiit 'Yiggy' into the mix and have never been disappointed.  It was a all I expected it to be.  It had (has) no sonic failures that I can detect.  I've been listening to it now for 9-10 months with no regrets.
