help me with a DAC decision please


i'm looking to upgrade my wadia DAC. My first choice would be to have it also act as my pre. My mind could be changed on that however. I am looking seriously at the April Music Eximus. Does any of the Metrum offerings fit in here? I  need some help finding comparative models from other makers. There is no place for me to see any close by. I have to wing it off of the web and your recommendations. I do not object to buying used.My budget would probably be under 3 grand new or used.
thanks for all the help

Resonessence Labs Veritas DAC , is my primary DAC, it is a fine DAC which I use only for CD playback via my Aurender. This DAC does not have a PA or HPA which, for me, is a plus...since I was looking for a straight forward DAC, it also has seven filter modes that can be changed on the fly. I haven’t really sorted thru the different filter modes yet, since it sounds so good as is.I believe I have the first production model, received DAC this past May, I had to sent back to RL for a firmware update this past Aug. The support from RL is first rate M. Mallinson was a pleasure to deal with.
