PS audio digital link 3 or similiar Dac

I am in need of a new Dac and this one is on my radar. As there seems to be a plethora of these available, I would appreciate some comments on the sound quality of these units. I am looking to get something that has a slight warmth and not clinical and hyper detailed. Other suggestions would be appreciated. How about Cambridge Dacmagic. These don't seem to come up very often.

Had a Benchmark, Lavry was better, Benchmark gone... tried a PS audio DLIII, was a little bit better than the Lavry, upgraded DLIII to Cullen Level 4, then much better than Lavry, Lavry gone... Just got the new Wyred 4 Sound DAC 1.. beats the crap out of the DLIII... DLIII Gone :-) My opinion just buy the Wyred DAC1.. Oh and I have a Cambridge Dac Magic.. all of the others were/are better.. Still have the Dac Magic though I use it for my outdoor speaker setup ;-)

Wyred 4 sound is almost unbeatable as far as price. To get much better sound qaulity you would have to add another zero on to the 1000$ price tag. If you dont like it (I doubt you wont) You can sell it with no problem.

Channel islands Audio VDA2 and VAC1 sound great to me. Beat Benchmark and Dacmagic. Hard to find 2nd hand tho.

I recently replaced the stock DLIII with an Eastern Electric Tube DAC. So much better. I can't compare to the W4S. Return fee is too high. I can say that this is the best digital sound I have ever had in my system, and the critics all agree. Check out the latest reviews.
