The real key for getting the digital sound right, for me, was going to a dac with the old-fashioned converter - in particular the UA 20400. It is a long-standing 'discussion' here about modern vs old, but to me the old sounds like music, while the new does not. My DAC has 2 of the UA20400 in parallel, and if you can listen a STAX or Counterpoint DAC, or something similar, in a good system, then your solution might be at hand. As with all things, it is a matter of taste and synergy with your system. It sounds like your DAC choice does not have you really close, and only requires a bit of fine tuning. Perhaps a different solution is in order, depending on how serious you are. I think you might be quite stunned by the musicality of the UA 20400.
