Schiit Audio (or other) DAC Recommendations

My current sources are a Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC (with upgrades) and a Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J SACD Player.  I know that they are not the ultimate sources and am starting to think about upgrading the DAC to broaden my audio horizons.  The DAC is good for 24bit/96Khz.  I'd be interest in something that was 24bit/192Khz and possibly even DSD for the right price.

Is something like the Schiit Audio Modi worth consideration?  What are some of the higher value DSD capable DACs?

I've been very happy with the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC/headphone amp

https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/pre-box-s2-digital/

It won the “Best DAC/Headphone amplifier” award from EISA a couple of years ago. Swapping it from my office system into my living room system in place of a Bel Canto DAC 3, it held its own.
