The Exogal Comet is a well reviewed DAC so one less expensive way to go is to try various cabling between your CDP and DAC. If you're still not satisfied, try a different transport as well. There are some dedicated ones out there leaving it all to how you want to marry it to the DAC. That way, if you ever want to dip your toes in PC waters, you still have your DAC.
As a last resort, a Marantz Reference SACD player is a very musically satisfying choice. That's my 2cents.
All the best,
Nonoise
