First of all, Howdy, and welcome to Head-Fi! The motto here is, "Sorry about your wallet!"
The Master 7 uses an older style of DAC chip that is supposed to sound more analog than the ES9018 options, which are a very modern and accurate sounding chip when implemented correctly. Any chance you could audition either? What DAC do you have now, and what do you like and and not like about it? I'd go for whatever you wallet allows, and not over-think it too much .
