Upgrade from Oppo Sonica DAC


I am thinking of upgrading my Oppo Sonica DAC. What would be a good DAC around 3K USD range to look at? Main source is Tidal streamed directly to the DAC. I feel my setup is lacking bit of soul in the current setup. Will a move to R2R type DAC make a huge difference?


Below is my current setup.
Speakers: Canton A45
Amp: Parasound A21+P6
Cables:Blue Jeans cable.

Agree that sending the Oppo to Ric at EVS would be a huge improvement and may be your most cost-effective option.  However, as Oppo is effectively out of business you have to consider that investment if you have a problem in the future. 

If if it's me, and since you mentioned R2R DACs and are looking for something less fatiguing, I'd absolutely go for the Onyx if you can get a decent trade for your Oppo.  No brainer IMHO.
