Dac with very good tonefull bass?

At the moment I am playing with the Dacmagic wich I think is a very nice dac, but its time to upgrade.

I am looking for something with allot better bass then the Dacmagic.
My dealer has the following dacs that I know of that should be a good upgrade to the Dacmagic:

- Ps Audio digital link III
- Bel canto dac 3
- Bryston bda-1

Having had the Musical Fidelity a5 cd player at home, I could not get enough from the great bass. I have moved to computer audio so a cd player is not an option anymore, but if anything I aim for bass like that again.

I am open for other suggestions.

I'd also have to respectfully disagree with Wireless200.
My Modified Tri Vista dac improved the bass to a significant degree over my precious player, in terms of both quality and depth.
The difference was quite apparent when switching between the two, with no other changes to the system.

I'd agree that amps can also make a significant difference.

keep the dac and experiment with upgrade AC cords and interconnects before doing anything else

Thanks for all the advice. Upgrading my amp is not possible as I am very happy with it (passlabs F5) I should be able to get better bass (as I heard with the Musical Fidelity a5) only via a dac upgrade.

The only thing that I can upgrade besides my dac are the speaker cables, and a interlink. I`m pretty set on power cords also all are LessLoss, and the Dacmagic has Adaptor so no upgrade possible there...

I will ask my dealer for a testrun on the PS dlII for sure. Any input perhaps on the Bryston and the Bel Canto?
