Need DAC help

I posted here a while ago wanting to get suggestions for replacing my California Icon Mkii. The suggestions appeared to be to keep it and get a DAC. Since that post (which appears to have vanished from Audiogon) I have tried to educate myself about DAC's which I was totally ignorant about at the time. Have a simple system with Totem Forests and a Plinius integrated amplifier. I am a soundstage junkie and may also want to tame to high frequencies a bit. Would like to get a tube Dac Considering the TDAC, maybe Havanna but would really like suggestions, Thanks

used Tadac is good. I found one here for $550. a few months ago.
I mainly use my Adcom 700 DAC via (tubed) VAC preamp just 'cuz it's the main plan.
The Tadac sounds good, has it's own volume control, and a headphone output. a 'tubyness' knob taht I think is cool. The TDAC is less complicated and a better performer, but new and costs more.
