I like to rock out here and there... and Use some very aggressive metal far beyond metallica! But also listen to Jazz and several other variations between.
This I can say, Original recording will vary greatly. Today in the last 5 years, close to 10 years now the recordings on many more popular Rock and heavy music have come a long way from that 1989 Megadeth copy of a CD for sure. However the rule still stands, some CD's are just gonna sound great in the Car, or Headphones...
Dac's are also tuff to classify for this, almost all can play back a perfect Jazz recording or even the beatles and sound perfect. Metal is not as easy for sure, you will need speed, clarity, and warmth, neutral dacs in this case will most likely not cut it. Or at least sound as enjoyable or musical in many cases...
I would suggest look at Monarchy audios dacs, very heavy built power supplies, robust sound, good features, and fairly cheap on the used market. Also to really smooth out the excess distortions of these recordings it takes some serious jitter reduction, Monarchy also builds the device to handle this very well from personal experience, its called the "DIP" they make a standard and upsampling version. However they only build it on its own, its the top selling device so they don't build them into their DACs your forced to add another power cable and coax.
Also these devices can convert your digital to true Balanced connections which can have some good factors on distortion to the sound.
Finally don't waste to much time chasing the dragon, many cases you will never hear the full results especially in super hi power heavy distorted complex music unless you invest in perfecting your room acoustics, this really puts your dynamics, acoustic energy, and overall clarity/musicality to the test.
Good luck
