Thiel and McIntosh sounds amazing together.... I would start looking there.
Also, I agree that driving the amp directly from the dac might be part of your problem.
I do have a pair of Thiel 2.4's driven by Krell. Works well for me.
How's your room? You may need to add some dampening to the room, curtains, a couple of acoustic panels, maybe some thick tapestry on the wall behind the speakers....
