Experience with good d/s DACs “comparable@ to R2R?


Sorry for opening a can here… but am in the market for a dac upgrade. Something under 1k with a capable output. I’d been hunting r2r for some time, but also learning that d/s with good topology and output stage can supply those extra fuzzies, paired properly.
I’m currently running an Airist Audio r2r, sounds really nice. But also crave more speed, impact, revelation and clarity. Also gets a bit congested at complex passages. Not to mention more inputs (including I2s as considering a Pi2AES) to future proof and supply output options. R2R is wonderful, but gets pricey. I know there’s dDenafrips Ares ii, Musician Audio, Audio GD, Bifrost 2, etc. but have now been eying Topping d70s for it dual akm’s and juicy XLR output voltage. It’s claimed to sound “organic” while accurate, get out of the way kind of presentation.
Anyway, curious about POV relative to experiences in this price range. Greatly value anyone’s perspective and experience on these or any other dacs 🙏🏼

system:

I’ve had..

bluesound

Psaudio
bricsti m1
meitner m3
berkeley v2

best by far is Berkeley v2
BRYSTON …. check out the reviews , Better still, go audition one and be prepared to be impressed ,

one big reason among others  : built in linear power supplies 
If you want a dac that comes close to R2R, you have to spend a lot more than a grand.  I have an Esoteric K3 which is pretty decent. I would upgrade to a Lampizator if I were in the market for a new dac upgrade.  I wet with an upgraded vinyl rig. Now, thats a medium thats close to R2R.
All really great suggestions here! Thank you all…

@georgehifi I’ve been looking at Soekris dacs as well! Some typical r2r controversy on those via forums, but those that actually own them say  resoundingly positives things.

@akg_ca I also keep stumbling on Bryson too. Even the older BDA 1 shows up against newer dac comparisons.
Yes, I might need to save a bit more…Or accept my budget constraints and make other system adjustments!
