What's new since the MSB Link DAC III?

I got an MSB Link DAC III and installed an upsampling chip a little over a year ago. I've been very happy with it but I am wondering what (if anything) would be a reasonable and noticeable "move up" from this unit. I have not been keeping up with new products for over a year now. If anybody out there has been keeping up and could reccommend any other DAC's I would appreciate it. Price is not a big concern but I would like to keep it under $1000.00 or so. What beats the MSB in this price range? Any thoughts?

I had a modified Link DAC and tried an Electronic Visionary Systems Millennium DAC(www.tweakaudio.com). I sold the MSB immediately and haven't looked back. Significant improvements in transparency, dynamics, and soundstage. Try the Millennium DAC II for $1050, and if it doesn't trounce the Link simply send it back, but I doubt you will. Best of luck.
