Upgrade from APS upgrade to Directstream Mk1 to Signature APS DS Mk1?

Any opinion and advice from those who upgraded from APS transformers and VOCM upgrades to the Signature APS MK1 upgrade would be appreciated. I am loving my DS MK1 upgrade with APS transformers and VOCM and analog power supply upgrades and I wonder how the newer Signature version compares.

I too am thoroughly enjoying my DSD MkI with the APS transformers and VOCM upgrade and have been considering upgrading to the Signature vs perhaps an entirely different DAC. Does it make sense to keep upgrading an older DAC vs moving on? I haven’t listened to that many DAC’s to determine the best upgrade path moving forward. My hunch is based on my current JK Richards upgraded DAC, is that it would most likely take a larger investment than I’m willing to spend to improve upon the current Signature JK Richards DAC.

I’m thinking of just living with my dac as is as I sent it in for upgrades three times already and at this point I will just enjoy. I would take too much of a loss on my version 1 APS transformers to upgrade to the version 2. My dac sounds good as it is.
