Have directly compared the Majik DS and Akurate DS with the ARC Dac8 and honestly like all three of them. The Akurate DSM is the one I would recommend as it has the most to offer as far as inputs and functionality moving forward.
I would think that keeping the Majik DS and simply getting another dac would not make as big a difference as selling it and getting the Akurate DSM.
I do not find the DS products "sterile and flat" so not sure what to say except you may have different tastes.
