Ayre DAC vs Auralic vs Metrum vs Bel Canto


I'm trying to decide on which DAC to get. Could someone please highlight the best dac among these choices? I like smooth musical sound yet not too colored or sluggish. The Auralic got good reviews, but how does it compare to the competition?

I am using a LINN Akurate DS ($7,500), but even a Majik DS or Majik DS/M I think would be a better idea. Lose the USB connection totally. I use an iPad to control the entire thing. Also, the "Kinsky" software to run all your music is free.
