Hi, I would suggest the following, I have owned or own most of these:
Museatex Bidat (currently own) simply outstanding even to this day, especially if you have John Wright install the "Plus" mod.
AMR DP 777 SE (currently own) probably the best all around dac I have heard and as a poster above mentioned it is competitive and in many cases better than analog rigs up to around the $7k range.
Metrum Hex/Octave (owned the Hex, the AMR displaced it)
Wada 9 (stunning audibly and aesthetically) extended loan some years ago as I considered its purchase
Newer unit to consider: Denafrips Terminator
