This is my goal. I have mixed unsuccessfully on enough DACs that I know exactly what to listen for concerning a sound that will not work for me. If anything sounds uncomfortable to me, I can't get work done. It is horrible.

I agree, I have a fully serviced Bryston 4b (just recapped), my hafler trans nova 300, zoalla and mogami cables. Each leans a slightly different way and I mix and match to suit.
Otherwise, I just received a coleman m3ph mk2 today and I'll be staying here for a while. For those who love their Lavry DA-10 or any other dac, I would recommend this as a possible combination. I'll report back more definitely in a while after I finish a few projects.
