Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers!
@kennyc  I have some combination of stereo gear that would be considered high end by this forum''s standards perhaps..I would deem it high performance more so than "high end" because "high end" could also mean trash that's just priced high some da... 
UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC
Schiit Yggdrasil R2R (in your budget, less than 3k). It is made in the USA, sounds better than dacs 10 times its price and happens to be manufacturer direct. The manufacturer is your dealer, i.e., you wouldn’t need another middleman in your life (... 
Audio Fantasies
Fantasies a.k.a theorycrafting beforehand about a component, can lead to sky high expectations before you get to actually hear that speaker or other component. When it does end up not meeting such expectations during an in-person audit...you coul... 
Speaker Suggestions for Next Move
No mention of the recent release of one of the PS Audio Aspen speakers. Worth considering. FR10 or FR20  +1 @sgordoxyz , The FR10 @ $10,000 which still gets the pm midrange would be considered high value in OP's budget.

Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker
@deep_333, Dave Wilson was far from incompetent. At the time, the Watt/puppy was one of the best high end speakers available. You should be tarred and feathered for your insult to Dave Wilson. Well, the speaker’s measurement indeed looks like a... 
Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker
JA's measurements indicate that the speaker and its designer were incompetent in 1991. I wouldn't touch it with a 20ft pole. Let it die and buy something newer.

Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3
gradually got tired of the Dynaudio Consequence. What kind of goof names his speaker "Evoke", "Consequence", etc? Is there a model called "flatulence" from Dyndaddy? If not, he may have missed out on a great marketing opportunity.....Dynaudio ...
