Todd,
You need to get out and see/hear what is possible. Upsampling to high speed DSD and using a great DAC is out of this world better than any pre 2000 system....any. One guy says it is better than his $20,000 turntable with $5,000 cartridge. Another says that upsampling DSD 64 to DSD 512 sounds better than any other source period....including reel to reel.
Other pure R2R DACs like the big MSB and Trinity also make PCM sound outrageous. This has never happened before. We are hearing things on CDs that were recorded in the 80s that we never knew existed. Here is a couple of links that are just the tip of the iceberg:

People are recording in Quad DSD and cannot hear ANY difference between analog tape and a copy......this is exciting. Digital has arrived!
However, you cannot just set up a junk computer to do the sending....you need to tweak every part and every cable. Just like anything else. You will be rewarded for your efforts.
