How to proceed?

Removing my Aqua La Voce dac from my system has eliminated fatigue and reduced but not fully eliminated sibilance. Running my Jay’s CDT2MKIII into my Hegel H390’s onboard dac is definitely a more relaxed presentation but tonally leaner than I prefer. Some have suggested I swap out the Hegel, but first I’d like to try another dac.

What I’m unclear about is how to go about choosing another dac that will not duplicate the same drawbacks I’ve experienced with the Aqua. Are there details in the design or specs that can guide me in this regard?  I'm unsure how to proceed.

If you can spend around $6500. The T+A 200 dac- preamp 

is the most complete dac I have heard and I have heard many in our audio get together and in the Hegel 390+590 this dac meeets or beats anything up to $15k

check out all the reviews ,and get a demo , it is night and day better then the 2 dacs you mentioned .
