Mark Levinson 380S to Audio Horizons TP 2.1

I was reading about the AH 2.1, which seems to have some pretty fantastic reviews. The 380S is a great unit, but I'm looking for something that's a bit more musical with more presence. Something that isn't going to be a lower performance value than my Levinson obviously.

Right now my system is this:
ML 380S Preamp
Emotiva XPA-1 Monoblock 1000watt amplifiers
Aerial Acoustics 10Ts
Tara Labs The One series cabling (including power cables, ICs, speaker cables are Tara Labs EKC)

I can probably sell my 380S for right around $3k, so I'd like to keep my budget at or below that price point. I understand that my source (a Mac mini into a Pacific Valve Fathom NOS DAC) is probably holding me back a great deal. So I was looking at the AH 2.1 at the $2k price point and purchasing a CD player for the difference. I am looking at suggestions for a preamplifier only at this time though so as to not get my brain too congested.

Thank you kindly!
