DAC suggestions

I know I shouldn't have. I have an inexpensive PS Audio dac I upgraded after seeing it on the web. It sounds good but I'm looking for better. I would like to get away from some of the brashness, shimmer, sizzle whatever. In the past I have owned several different dacs including Antelope, AMR and an integral dac in Mac 2500 pre. Can you make a suggestion? My budget is around 2 grand used.

I'm curious about lampizator. Aqua voce, T+A. I know there are a million. My system consists of Bat 75se amp and currently but soon to change a Cary 98 slp pre and Von Schweikert VR4 jr speakers.  thanks

That was my impression of the Schitt DAC also.

BRYSTON BDA2 or their current model BDA3 ( both preowned of course );

I have the “2” …highly recommended, and I’m not swayed to move up to the “3”.

Personally I would wait until you get the other two items you mentioned .  Making more than one change at a time can steer you down the wrong path and leave you disappointed.

change is something I'm going to do. when and what order does not matter to me. It's going to change after that too, right? thanks all for the answers. the market is really polluted with dac manufacturers.
