What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES

I find my XA7ES which is a stock unit is on the heavy side of sound. Meaning I feel I have to much low end and not controlled. Want to get more excitement into this unit. I can use more detail in the mids and less boom on the low end. I want to try a Dac and hoping someone else is using the XA7ES for a transport and what Dac you may be using with good results.
Any help on picking out a Dac would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Museatex Bitsream or Chord 64 are two dacs that really sound analog. The Bitstreams go for around $400-$500 and the Chord probably around $2K & up.

Happy Listening.

Bigkidz,
I wanted to send you a e-mail and once again this Audiogon system will not allow it to go through? dadt531@aol.com

Bigkidz,
Do you have the XA7ES, or have had and have found the 2 Dac's mentioned above to be best suited for this player?
Any comments on the Benchmark?
