A.A. Capitole..unfortunately not yet..$$$$$$

A very generous friend allowed me to audition his AA Capitole in my system.What I heard ,at that moment,was just jaw-dropping wonderful.Never had music sounded that good coming from my system.Well all good things have to come to an end.When he left ,that night,so did his Capitole.
After that night my goal was to own one of those units however my financial situation will not allow that to happen for a couple more years.
Now I have a Sonic Frontier SFT-1 transport going to a Musical Fidelity A3 24 DAC.
Because of my location auditioning other transports,DAC or even all-in one units ,is out of the question.
Any suggestions on how to improve the digital side of my system,getting as close to the Capitole without breaking the bank, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
