Upgrade Hint 6?

My Parasound Hint 6 sounds amazing but I suffer from the same obsession that many of you do. How far up the Schiit DAC food chain would I need to go to get an appreciable improvement in sound?

There are many levels of Op-amp quality and the best ones are competitive with top-shelf discrete circuitry.

Does a violin measure as well as the latest Benchmark model? I’ve had components that measured amazingly well, and they also sounded completely mediocre. Two amps that I once owned measured really well and the cheap one gave sibilance and loose tubby bass while the other one, in the exactly same system with the same tracks, did not.
