R2R Dac choices.

As to this point in my young audiophile career my dac has been an Oppo 203 running analog into an Anthem Mrx 720. I'm to thrilled the way it sounds for music! 4k movies is a different story.

The anthem is on the way out as I move to a two channel system. I have Ps audio M700 monoblocks and Ascend Acoustics towers with ribbons. I was about to purchase the Metrum Adagio and Ambre. As I don't or won't have a preamp the Adagio seems like a great choice because of the volume control. A preamp is definitely a possibility. And then I read about the Mhdt Labs Orchid dac and I started to waver lol. So I'm looking for a little help or guidance in these choices and other suggestions as well. 
Look forward to hearing what you cats have to say!!

Hi Guys 
i am using a Mojo Audio Mystique V2 plus Dac .It is an R2R Ladder Dac with Jays Transport and Black Cat Silverstar digital cable.Sounds like a top notch Analog front end.
Will be looking into the Denafrips Terminator and Black Cat Digit 75 in the near future.

Thinking my next dac will be the mojo mystique v2 plus. It will replace a schiit bimby multibit, which I enjoy.

I was fortunate enough to audition both a Schiit Yggdrasil and a Holoaudio Spring Level 3 DAC in my home system.  Although different sonically, I was very impressed by both.  However, I ended up with a Denafrips Pontus and have not regretted this purchase.  A super DAC, especially considering the price ($1800 US).  Here's a link to a posting/review of some of my more specific thoughts:
