narrowing down my decision


I've narrowed down my choices for my CDP upgrade and am looking for some advice to give me that final push so I can just pull the trigger already.
System is a Cayin TA-30 w/B&W602 monitors, primarily used for classic rock.
1) OnixXCD88/MusicHallMMF25 w/level 1 mod
2) Audio Mirror or Bel Canto Dac with my existing player as transport.
Last time I discussed my upgrade path most people were leaning towards a DAC, but if there's anyone that has had experience with any of these units, especially with push-pull tube amplification, I'd love to hear about it. Also, are the low four digit price tagged DACs like the Tri-Vista, etc, really all that much better than "budget" pieces like the Audio Mirror, Bel Canto, or Benchmark?

Look for a Kora Hermes. It is killer and you will be happy.
I have tried many Dac's over time. The Kora is in a leauge of its own. The Bel Canto is not even on the same planet as the Kora.
