Recommendation for DAC needed.

I’m looking to replace my Schiit Gumby DAC.  Price range: $2000-3000.
Right now considering Ayre Codex.
Need it for my CD transport as a well as compacity for hi res streaming.
 I don’t need headphone capability.
Any high quality unit recommendations would be appreciated.

There’s also the question, will any of the above be significantly better than my Gumby, aside from the fact that they will decode hi res files?

The only thing that I found significantly better than my Gumby is very pricey Aqua Formula. 
Improving what feeds it is often neglected and can make a bigger difference than what you might expect. 
Cheers,

Do you have the multibit upgrade, or is it the standard Gungnir?  If the latter, the upgrade might be the way to go.

Go for the Yggdrasil. You won't find much better no matter what you spend. The best thing is that you get a 15-day trial period... plug it in, wait two days to burn it and try it out.

I have the Multibit.

The Yggdrasil doesn’t have hi res capability.
