good DAC , recommend plz and your reason?

I am in the process of looking for a good DAC for using with PC. In my past experience, I had a chance to listen to Lavry DA10, BenchMark DAC1, Grace m902, and the best of them Audio Aero prima DAC.
Therefore, right now I want something which is better than the Prima. I like an DAC which can make digital music become so so RRREAL and have romatic sounds.

Can you also tell me your reason why you love and choose it?

If you recommend me something so expensive(10k??? Uh Uh > <), then I think I have to look for the used one. In that case, can you also tell me a good fair price for a used one

Thanks

Audiosector ($300-$400) and Altmann ($1500) make superb DAC's. Owned both and enjoyed each immensely.

You won't see them listed every day or month for that matter, but a Boulder Cable modified Art DI/O can probably be had these days for $600 or less, and frankly, compared head to head, the Benchmark isn't in the same league...ooops, never mind, you need a USB input...

just to make it clear that I don't really need a USB DAC. And I want to buy something which is on the higher level of audio aero prima MKII SE DAC

thanks
