The oppo is in my Amazon shopping cart. I've been wrestling with my Metrum Hex to take iOS and later AppleTV.

DAC recommendation in the $1k range
Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade from my PS Audio Digital Link III and wanted some help finding a candidate. My requirements, in addition to sounding great, are that it must be balanced, and it must either have remote input selection or auto-selection of inputs. DSD is a plus, but I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'd use it (even though I did really love SACD while I had a player). I don't need pre-amp or headphone amp capabilities.
So far the most interesting candidates I've found are:
BMC PureDAC
PS Audio Nuwave DSD
PS Audio PerfectWave MK II
Obviously the PerfectWave is the highest pedigree but also the most "dated" being a couple years older and lacking DSD. But if it's the best DAC of the bunch then I'll pull the trigger.
Any thoughts on these? Any options I'm not thinking of?
