Recommend a DAC for my system....please.


Hard for me to audition because I don't know where to start. I pretty much have the HT area covered, now I need a NICE musical dac somewhere around the $3k area. New or used. I was thinking about the Levinson 36/36s.
My listening taste depends on my mood, mostly jazz, bossa nova, pop, etc... but NO rap.
It'd be great if I can be satisfied with this dac for a long, long time. Any thoughts????

Much appreciated...

I'm in the same club as Lafish. I've owned both the SFD2mkII
and still have the Processor 3. Good value used, great parts quality, & you can fine tune them with tube choice. SFD2'mkIIs are like $1500. used, an incredible deal IMO....add something like a used Genesis Digital Lens (also a used steal, these things really work on jitter) and you will have a very musical DAC. The Processor 3 is indeed a notch better, separate power supply etc. Both recommended!!
