Looking for my first DAC

+1 for what @sfar  posted.

I'd use your 93 as a transport (for now) and go with an external / stand-alone DAC. 

The 93 was reviewed in early 2011, therefore, likely based on ~ 2010 DAC tech. As others have pointed out...there has been serious movement in DACs, since then. 

The 93 was also not to the level of the 95, except (approximately) for going digital out from it (again using it as a transport only).

Your budget of 1K is healthy and there are great options new, and many more used (albeit slightly older) that will run circles around the 93's DAC performance.

JD,  If you don't already have a feel for this, I encourage you to figure out what it is you want or expect from your system and where you may want to take it.

Reading through the various DAC threads will be helpful.

For example, [ONLY for example purposes, and because both are widely discussed on this forum] Border Patrol and Benchmark represent different 'sound' and 'presentations' and approaches.

Once you have determined which camp(s) you may be interested in, recommendations will be more on the mark.
