I am frustrated with the sound from my DAC

My DAC-IT by peachtree audio is sounding harsh in my rig now. I am comparing the sound of it to my Cambridge Audio DAC Magic plus with the two Wofson Chips inside it. The Cambridge Audio sounds good, smooth and nice. Anyone know what is inside the peachtree DAC IT. My Digital source is a cambridge audio DVD player. 540D. My next move will be to use my better sounding ARCAM CD player with the peachtee DAC and see if it is smoother sounding. My amplifier is Cambridge Audio. Sweet sounding one. Not a CX series, but sweet sounding.

iFi Pro iDSD DAC, best on the planet with a select-able tube stage and killer headphone amp. I just bought my 2nd one for my office rig, used at half price of new.

@cal3713 you are correct about iFi.
Which iFi DAC have you tried?
The Pro iDSD has superior jitter and clock, which is what I feel really makes the sound stage. I listen to mostly rock and jazz and haven't found a better DAC, at any price point.
Even their Micro version is worthy at $500. I travel constantly for work and carry one with me.
