Point of diminishing return for a DAC

$2k for the Matrix XSabre Pro MQA DAC. Best measured performance on Audio Science Review out of 150 tested dacs.

Get an Audio-gd R8 DAC (ladder DAC) and a ultrarendu streamer/bridge and you will be MANY steps above now and VERY close to a multi thousand dollars DACs. 

Again, my thanks for all the responses!!

i was lucky enough to find a great dealer (Basil Audio) that gave me a stack of Players to audition on my system in my house. I tried them all and while each had a great sound there was one that worked best for me. I blind tested them all again for my wife and she picked the same player I did. These were not low end players but each sounded different. I went with the Linn Akurate with Katalyst  and could not be happier. Take the time and find what is right for you and your equipment and room. 

I went with Benchmark for accuracy, neutrality and solid engineering, but I'm getting interested in Denafrips for musicality...not sure which models are significantly more musical than Aries2.  Any experience?Thx for Rendu tip.
