Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?

I am an analog guy but I do have a Moon by Simaudio 280D DAC/DSD with the Mind2 player. It is $3000.00 new but you can find them used for about $2000.00 or less without the Mind2 feature.

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

@chorus - This really isn’t much to go on in terms of what you’re looking for or what qualities you value most in DAC/system performance, and it’s why you’re getting recommendations from all over the place and with no explanation as to why a certain DAC would be a good fit for you. If you’re after a total crapshoot of recommendations I guess this is fine, but if you want recommendations more targeted to what specifically you’re looking for it’d be helpful if you’d share more about about your tastes and what you’re looking to improve upon or achieve. Also, if you share what you think of the Tubadour it’ll also help people focus their recommendations. FWIW.

Soix,

Point taken. But I do not wish to muddy the waters.

I am looking for the elusive "Musicality". 

My definition of that term is another word "Magical"

My definition of that word is more complex. In terms of a feeling or emotion it is what you experience when your head snaps to attention
after hearing a particular musical passage that "Moves" you.

These goals may not help you narrow down any recommendations 
you might have for me in the $2,500 price area. But that was not my
question after all. 

I have narrowed down the list so what I would like is to hear is from
those who have either heard or owned the listed DACs.

dseltz,

I like the gear you own. (Speakers?) 
I will check out Excel.

Thanks,

SpeakerMaster,

This is whole reason research is difficult in the DAC world.
From what I an learning, the best values are from the no-name
companies you (and I) might have concerns about.
The reason I am less concerned about that in the case of a DAC
is that I see it as the shortest life cycle piece I will own. 
Improvements are accelerating at a fast pace so value counts.
