Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio?

Looking to upgrade my current Rega DAC-R and have been doing some internet searching and these DACs look interesting and fit within my price range:
BENCHMARK - DAC3 B - $1700
MYTEK DIGITAL Mytek - Liberty DAC - $1000

Audio Mirror - TUBADOUR III DAC - $1200
Holo Audio – Spring DAC 2/3 - $1900-2700
Mojo Audio - Mystique v2 SE DAC - $2500
The other option is to just stick with the Rega DAC-R
I play CDs only and would like to maximize that format. Anyone have experience with these DACs? I have no opportunity to audition them where I live.

Which DAC would provide the most significant upgrade from the Rega? The Rega frames the music well and sounds good with almost every disc I throw at it. I’m not shooting for different and I don’t want something that will limit what's  enjoyable (CDs or types of music).

MusicHead.  I'm in the same boat, looking for a DAC for <$2500.

Right now on my to-audition short list:

* Mojo Mystique V2 SE  
* Metrum Onyx
* Chord Qutest

Happy to share results with you.

Will do.   

I'll add Holo Spring and the Lab12 to my list (thanks, @headphonedreams - had never heard of that DAC.  The reviews can't be ignored, IMO).
