DAC significantly better than a w4s DAC2-DSDse?

I recently purchased a w4s DAC2-DSDse that sounds great in my system (dunlavy sc-v, pass xp20, pass xa100.5's fed by FLAC files from a "bit-perfect" Linux server).

I need another dac for a second system. Is there a < $8K dac that clearly sounds better than the DSDse or should I just get a second one?

Thanks!

I've been using Linux as my main OS for the last couple of years and am very happy with it. Is it difficult to set up a bit perfect Linux server? It doesn't seem like many audiophiles are using Linux.

I haven't heard the PS Audio DS DAC in person yet but my friend has heard it and he's raving quite a fair bit :)

This is against the Mytek DSD, the Bel Canto DAC3.5VB II, the Meitner MA-1 among others.

You will sell your preamp with this DAC. It beats it.

Maybe beats this one too DSD-S?
