Looking for an upgrade to my Ack Dack 2.0

It seems to me that my Ack Dack 2.0 is not as dynamic as I would like. I could be wrong, but I would like to try another dac that maintains the tonal warmth and richness of the Ack Dack, but with more speed and impact.

From reading these forums, it appears I should consider the Kora Hermes and possibly Audio Mirror. What about other options with the sonic signature I am looking for?

Get the Ack modified by empiricalaudio.com. I a/b'd between a stock model and a modded one--no contest.

I compared the Modded unit to a 1.x. I talked to Steve before I sent in the Dack, and he told me it didn't make a difference if I sent in a 2.0 or a 1.x--the end results would be the same. The modded unit was much better from top to bottom. The most obvious improvements were more detail, dynamics, and an amazing 3-D presentation.

I'd imagine the results of modding your 2.0 would be similar. Or, you could sell the 2.0, buy a cheaper 1.x, and have the 1.x sent in for mods.
