DAC suggestions

Thanks all for the suggestions. My first post may have been misleading. the Cary pre will get switched to a BAT pre. That is all that is changing. The DAC can change any time one comes along. The T+A 8 was stated as being bloomy. I don't think that's what I'm after. I understand the 200 is a major step up but well out of my budget. Is there actually a budget for this stuff? I have heard good about denafrips. Is it not true that a ladder dac does not play dsd or one of the versions? I am intrigued nobody mentioned chord.

thanks for all suggestions

+1 Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC.

It pairs very well with my analog ears.

Another vote for Denafrips here. Sound quality, feature set, build quality, they are a tremendous bang for the buck. I have the Terminator I with the updated DSP board and I’ve yet to listen to another $3K DAC that does a discernibly better job. The ARC Dac-9 would be the next level up if I had the bank. 

My Toppoing DX3 Pro or whatever isn't brash... just ice cold. It usually sits in a box somewhere around the house until I need it for a special project.

+1 for Denafrips … and they play DSD all the way up to 1024. 
IMO, the Terminator 2 dac is a great value. 

Holo Audio also makes excellent dacs that are as good if not better than Denafrips. They also do DSD very well.
