Have you ever heard one of the old Accuphase DACs that were discrete? First they had a discrete 16 bit one and later I think a 20bit discrete DAC. Interesting that was one of the first really high end approaches and now it comes back again...kind of like tubes...and SET in particular :)

I have my eyes on a DC-81L, which is discrete 20bit.
with the matching DP-90 transport. Lots of PCM63s!
I guess most examples of these will be 100V, meaning step-downs and so on, but it would be lovely to find either an 81 or a 91 and renovate/revitalise them.

Yeah one of those would be nice!!
I am looking seriously now at the Aries Cerat Kassandra II DAC. It is using 16 AD1865N per channel with a tube/transformer coupled analog stage. 70KG of DAC!! Enormous power supply for max stability on the tube stage.
I never had opportunity to hear one of those Accuphase DACs.
