Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?

Not a tube, but I own the Exogal Comet (with supratek Cortese pre and First watt SIT-3 Amp). VERY analog sounding.  Surprisingly so.  
Slightly above your price at $3000. And IMO worth 3500 to get the PSU upgrade

I agree with with hshifi under $5000 it's compromised. I was going to say that in last post but didn't want to start trouble. $5000 will get started in the do all r2r dac's. In the under $3000 range the key is to match it to your system, or you will hear its short comings. If you can demo do it. I do find a good power supply help's, they also respond very well to installing better caps.

Wow!

Thanks to all who made comments!

I will add my system to the profile but here it is a nutshell:

Kimber 8 Speaker Cable Bi-Wired

Room:Two dedicated 20 amp lines
Absorption Treated walls
Walmart TV/Stereo Stand
Dimensions- 14 x 16 + open to 6 x 4 left side and 12 x 8 right side.
The configuration I use is not what easy to visualize. See photo when I get that done.
Lucky that I am the 1st Run off the Power pole transformer.

Listening Habits:
55-72db max
Vocals, Jazz, Opera, electronic
Ears sensitive to harshness and volume. Max at 8k hz.

More to follow.

I have the Denafrips Pontus. It replaced a Rega DAC.The Pontus is hands down the most resolving yet easy to listen to DAC I've ever had and cannot recommend it, and the distributor highly enough.I am using a valve amp and a server/streamer to listen to FLAC ripped CDs and Tidal via Roon.
No Qobuz in Australia as yet.I use USB and/or coax between the server and the DAC and either works well.Good luck with the decision.

@paulcreed What R2R DACs do you find are not compromised?
