...Do I move up Denafrips' line?
Yes.
Everyone I know says Denafrips does a great job with real SQ improvements as you move up the line, and if you like the Denafrips "house sound" you aren't going to be disappointed. Plus, you'll be able to add a DDC that will give you another SQ boost in the future. Or, if you want to go outside the box a little I also recommend Space Tech Labs:
https://space-tech-lab.com/DA_Converters_USB-DACs/DAC.phpThey are a small Decware-ish company in Canada and make some really interesting stuff. I have their 300B amp and Super Tube Rectifier and am really happy with both, esp. for the money.
For me, I've had a Terminator 2 and Gaia for about 3 years now and it just keeps sounding better and better as I upgrade other parts of my system.
