AI vs Real Intelligence

I asked Chat GPT and Gemini to find the weak link in my system. As expected both said the WiiM Pro and after that the Schiit Modius DAC, also expected. AI also said bypassing the Wiim’s DAC (coaxial out) into an upgraded DAC would be a huge step forward. After inputting that I want to improve clarity (adding that I want hyper-detailed sound), imaging and sound stage, and with a budget of $1,500 new or used, a few DAC recommendations were given.

I would like to compare the AI with real intelligence. What DACs would this group recommend?

The rest of the system is Magnepan 3.7i’s; (2) SVS SB1000 Pro, a Wharfedale WD8 and JBL PS120 subs; PS Audio Stellar M700 amps; Schiit Freya+ pre. I am in the process of getting room treatment installed. 
 I listen to mostly acoustic folk/rock, jazz, female vocalists, classical and some pop/rock.
