Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system

Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
Dan modded my OPPO Sonica DAC a few years ago. SQ is WAY beyond stock in every way.  
$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?
@audiotroy By "upgrade path" do you also mean software updates/grades, like PS Audio and (I think) Aqua.  Would you consider dcs as having an upgrade path.   
Kanta 3 positioning

$30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous?
