DAC significantly better than a w4s DAC2-DSDse?

I recently purchased a w4s DAC2-DSDse that sounds great in my system (dunlavy sc-v, pass xp20, pass xa100.5's fed by FLAC files from a "bit-perfect" Linux server).

I need another dac for a second system. Is there a < $8K dac that clearly sounds better than the DSDse or should I just get a second one?

Thanks!

You dont HAVE to roll tubes in the lampizator and even if you want to, on a Lampi Level 4, the typical NOS tube used would cost less than $30 delivered via Ebay. I scored some top tungsram locall for $10.

Lampi DSD is freaking awesome and I have yet to hear any PCM beat a quality DSD128 recording played back via the Chipless Lampi decoder.

That said, there are lots of choices in Dac-Land.
