PS. left out the Jadis JS-1 MKIV Tube DAC and the Acoustic Plan DigiMaster DAC both reference

level world class DACs. Acoustic Plan is a German company, their four tubed DAC is around $5,000.

I don't know how I could have forgotten to include the famous French company Jadis. That's like forgetting Audio Research or Conrad Johnson. Anyway, the Jadis models run from $5,000 to $20,000 and their Reference DAC would compete for world's best DAC from any manufacturer, tube or solid state.

Also, companies like the Italian firm Unison Research offer vacuum tube CD players that have USB and digital inputs and thus can be used as DACs but that is a whole other list.
