If you can swing it I would recommend you upgrade your dac to the DS. You will love it and IMO it will not be a lateral move by any stretch. I think the DS is a great DAC and much much better than the DACs you named above. Compared to the DACs you listed I think it will blow your mind. I loved mine.
If your thinking bang for bunch to upgrade these PS Audio MK DACs are pretty easy to do the upgrade yourself and they have a video to walk you through it. If you can get a good used MKII kit for around $500 that would give you a nice bang for buck upgrade for sure but the DS is a total other higher league. I think the DS DAC is the best at its price range and much better than many more expensive DACS also. Good luck. If you decide to do a manual upgrade and have any questions feel free to reach out I know how to do it and am glad to help...
