Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

From BB,

check out the PCM1704 or 1702. Earlier examples were the PCM63. None of these are that easy to find in new production DACs, but I think Tentlabs still has stock of the PCM63 for its designs, and I bought a fantastic 1704K DAC last year (listed in my system).

Ultra Analog 20400 DACs are supposed to be amazing.

The Philips 1541A is great - if care is taken to maximise its potential (see the AMR CD77 or the Zanden series). The has been used in many a NOS design.

New, proprietary chips can be had from Metrum or MSB, but those are $$$. Schiit Audio is rumoured to be releasing a new R2R DAC (Yggdrasil) but that is still mythical at present.

That's a decent start.
