Try Aurios MIB Pros with the tungsten carbide balls. These beasts worked wonders in my system. I have them under all my components. You still need to place them on something but my experience is that they do not have to be placed on highest quality shelves because they insulate so well (I lean towards the complete isolation school of thought rather than the coupling/draining vibration yada yada schools of thought).
From what you describe, though, I am wondering whether you should not also look at the digitial ICs or the support of the CD drive (assuming an Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete DAC is indeed a digital/analog converter as its name suggests) in order to get the type of sound you want.
