DAC Upgrade


I currently using a Bryston BDA-1 DAC and although it is a pretty good DAC, I want to upgrade to a 2r2 DAC. I recently purchased a Jays Audio cdt2 mk.ll transport and it is exceptional. My budget is in the $2,000 range and after careful review, I have narrowed the list to Schitts-Yagdrasil, Denafrips-Pontus and Holo Spring 2 level 2(new). Unfortunately, It is difficult to compare the three of them side by side, so I have to rely on expert reviews. I am looking for a DAC that is transparent, extended but smooth highs, 3D midrange and tight bass. My equipment is Prima Luna Prologue Pre Amp, Prima Luna Dialogue HP Amp and Silverline Sonata Mk.III speakers. Any thoughts?

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but the final opinion belongs to us audiophiles, who love their music and the equipment that gives us our quest for musical pleasure. Like I said before, there is soo much good stuff out there for us to choose to achieve our happiness. To most of us, this is a passionate hobby so let the dialogue continue.
George,
It appears that you like the sound of R2R DAC's and I assume you had the Holo Springs DAC? Which level did you have and would you assume that the revision 2 will be even better.

It’s all written about here. From what I’ve been told the Level 2 is the one to get for sound value for dollar spent.
