USB/SPDIF converter and DAC combinations

I am currently using M2Tech Hiface with PS Audio DL 3. Will be looking to upgrade. Seeking opinions on the Bel Canto devices, Wired4Sound DACs, Audiophelio converter. What makes for a great combination and is this a better approach than USB conversion within the newer DACs? This question is asked within the context of a 15K-17K system retail. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi Mesch,

If you already have the BDA-1, why not get the new BDP-2 as your USB to SPDIF upgrade? The reviews so far have been very good.
My fingers are itching to pull the trigger for the BDP-2 but unfortunately, if I run it to my Esoteric K-01, I can only max out the hi-res at 24/96. So to get 24/192 and DSD capability, the new Marantz streamer plus hi-res capable DAC would be a better choice for me.
Cheers!
