Scott Nixon UFO DAC: Next step up?

I have a fine Scott Nixon UFO (tube) DAC: What would be the next audibly better DAC?

FYI, I found the proper tube made a significant difference and that the Amperex in particular brought out the high end well, unlike the generic brands.

I listen to classical music off the Internet (Pandora mostly) and I sense a lack of "Completeness" versus my CD/Space-Tech combo-Have no basis of comparison otherwise. I would go to $1,000, used.

Have had something of a revelation: Hooked the lap-top up to the venerable Space-Tech via a Hagermann USB converter and am delighted with the sound. Still evaluating the detail but the richness is wonderful. Means I have to unplug the CD changer to connect the lap-top, but I have an open system, so all I have to do is trot up to the loft and switch cables (Think "Stair-stepping"). If the sound coninues to please, I will put the Nixon on the market: It's fine, but the Space Tech is "richer".
