I don't quite understand your post. Do you want us to comment on other DAC's that might have a higher bang-for-the-buck? If you do have a budget and a rank-ordered list of DAC's you want to get, then simply get the highest-ranking DAC that falls within your budget.
The biggest bang for you buck in my opinion is the Dac Magic. But then that is the only one that I've heard from your list. I agree though with you on the so many DACs so little time. I want to hear them all too. You might want to consider adding the MHDT Paradisea or Havana to your list. They are pretty nice sounding for the price as well.
