Replacement for Peachtree DacIT ?

I’ve been getting back into listening to music and resurrected my system a few months ago.  I’ve been using my old Peachtree DacIT and like the sound but it’s over 15 years old.  I feed it with a CAL Delta CD transport or an iPad. Santa brought a Bluesound Node so will be connecting that too.  What would you recommend as a newer DAC in the sub $1K price range that will be more revealing but as musical as the DacIT?

The rest of the system is an Adcom GFP-750 preamp, McCormack DNA-1 power amp, and Nola Boxer speakers.

Thanks!

I've been using a  Peachtree DAC it with a Cal Audio as a back up set for some time. Little bit coarse sonically speaking but I did enjoy. Just replaced it with a Peachtree Sona dac. I use this unit in DAC only mode ignoring its pre-amp. It is much more detailed and smoother than the DAC it. Much better chip. Best of all since this unit wasn't overly popular I was able to get one very cheap! If I had wanted a dac with a pre-amp I would probably have gotten a different model for more $. Not sure how much better the chip would sound though.

FWIW.
