@initm - your source is correct in that many power conditioners will constrict the amp.
However, the Furutech e-TP609 NCF power distributor should provide more details than the Furman.

I replaced my Panamax power conditioner with a distributor of my own design that is along the same lines as the Furutech and found the difference in details quite noticeable.
You seem to have the power side covered quite nicely, so the only other thing that I highly recommend is the gZero3 or gZero6 interconnects.
Here are my reviews of those two IC’s...

They are a step up from many other cables on the market and reproduce those exceptionally fine details other cables are unable to convey
Again, if DIY is your thing take a look at these IC’s

Will a new DAC improve things? - from what I have read it is possible.
However, my investigations into cables over the past 5-6 years has taught me that today’s components are capable of providing a performance that is far beyond what their more modest price points would suggest.
The Node 2 is one such component. It will be with me for a long time to come :-)
That’s about it from me - good luck with you quest :-)
