Hi
My current setup consist from HEGEL H360 integrated amp 
the inner dac is good but i like to upgrade to external/better dac
the hegel hd30 is very good one but cost $5000
what other dacs can be a good option up to $3000
and of course better than the internal dac of the h360?
Thanks

Ignore the Measurement Brothers.

I had a Hegel HD-12 (which I liked) that is said to be very similar in sound character to yours. Moved up to a used Exogal Comet Plus. The latter is much more detailed, textured, and refined sounding with more air and soundstage depth & layering. Opens up a new listening experience with well recorded  music.

The Hegel was a bass monster (in a good way mostly), the Comet is faster in the midbass with less heft in the lower mids. Both have smooth, musical midrange with the Hegel being more forward.
