Need some advise on DAC's please....

I'm just getting into the digital thing in a serious way. I have had many different one box players (Wadia, Shanling, Sony, Carey) etc. over the years, and Now, it looks like it's time for the separates? Advise please. The Transport will be the Oracle CD2000 for sure. The "DAC" on the other hand is the question? Need, to know what will be the most logical choice. Be it the Zanden, the Stax, the Jadis, The What? please comment.
As for the rest of the system? it's tubes, and Vinyl "TRL" and "Verdier" La Paltine, Along with the SME/Koetsu combo.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Mang53: My advise is that you can go for a top CDP ( integrated ) like: Linn, dCS, Meridian, Simms Audio, Burmester, Classe, Mark Levinson, etc....

If you go for separates the signal has to pass through additional connectors and cables and this fact always do a heavy degradation on the signal. Maybe you think that the external DAC is a better choice and outperforms the internal DACs of a CDP, but is not. As a fact many manufacturers of CDP and DAC use the same DACS for both units. Here it is a marketing business.

Regards and enjoy the music.
