What is the best DAC under $3000

I am looking to upgrade my Sony CDP-XA7ES cd player. I have a couple of options for a transport and haven't tried any ooutboard DAC's for years. Last one I had was a Theta Pro Basic IIIA. Not familiar with any of the modern day digital. Any help would be much appreciated.

Your budget seems to be at the lower limit of some very nice sounding DAC options you could consider if you can swing $500 to $1,000 more. Some choices include; Metrum Hex, Auralic Vega, and Lampizator L4 G4, to name but a few. At about your price range, one for you to consider that is off the beaten path would be the Yamamoto Soundcraft YDA-01 or YDA-01B.

Hi Bill,
What's up with the Killer DAC website?
On the homepage, it indicates a person has to register before they are allowed to access the website but when trying to register this message displays:
"Sorry, registration is currently disabled."
Is there somewhere else to access information in the event someone wanted to learn more about the DAC or to purchase one?
