@OP Any sensible dealer will never dis a customer's system, so I would just go somewhere else. Nice system BTW.
Enough is Enough
I've been looking at changing my DAC. I was considering Lampizator, Playback Designs, and Ideon. Recently a dealer basically told me(with the exception of my subwoofer and music server) my system sucks. He went on to say, I should sell my amps, preamp, DAC, speakers, and start all over! I've owned several different speakers, amplifiers, and DACs. I've attended shows and several different dealers show rooms. In fact, I directly compared one of the amplifiers the dealer recommended to a Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and preferred the 625 S2. I didn't build my system in a vacuum. I determined what I wanted to spend, listened and purchase what I preferred. I've been in sales and submit it would have been better to recommend a DAC that would improve my system. So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some dealer will tell me it's crap and I have to start over.

@ricred1 I got your PM but audiogon won't let me reply unless I give them a credit card. with all the hacks going on, I don't put my credit card on servers just to sit there and be hacked, so I can't reply. I found the Lampi bigger and fuller and extremely detailed. the soundstage is indeed excellent on the DAVE but loved the sound of the GG3. I can't compare to the Atlantic since I went right for the DHT. However, Lampi's flagship, the Horizon is a Pentode based output. I recently spent a weekend listening to it with Lukas and a few others using the Taiko XDMI and it was spectacular, but way above the price range you're shopping in. Best of luck, Jerry
