Quick update - I replaced my Parasound DAC with the much-recommended MHDT Orchid. Holy hell is it the best thing I ever did for my audio system. Smoothed out the top end incisiveness that I was experiencing with the Z10 and added back the warmth I was missing as well. Everything sounds so much more analog and enjoyable with the combination.
The sense of "realness" and palpability got ratcheted up a few more notches by changing the DAC. Highly recommended for pairing with the LTA.
