Point of diminishing return for a DAC

I am currently using a Mac mini as a Roon Server with an entry schiit DAC. I am considering buying another DAC. My question: what are the opinions on the point of diminishing returns for a DAC. My system is Golden Ear Triton 2+, Prima Luna preamp Carver tube amp. Quobuz for streaming...

Look forward to thoughts and advice...

If you can find your ideal sound with an 800 dollar dac , then its pretty stupid to pay more . If you cannot get your system to sound right no matter how much you spend then its not the fault of the gear . There is an incredible amount of ocd and mind over matter stuff in this hobby , I am surprised google isn't targeting me with ads for mental health just for visiting.
