I have heard a many many DAC's and worked in a high end shop for years. The newest DAC's have a tighter, leaner and clean sound vs vinyl and are moving away from the continuousness that LP has. The closest to analog that I have experienced is the better implementations of the Ultra Analogue DAC chips. It has the atmospheric bubble, tone color and timbre that good TT's will get and seems to be missing from the linear more sterile sound of more modern DAC's.
Analogue may not be the the ideal that new designs aim for but it is an ideal that resonates with me. I have UA DAC's , pcm1704 and AKM chip DAC's currently and have used some phenomenally expensive units as well as the Sabre. Like many audiophiles had multiple tone arm/cart combos and would spin certain things on one or the other, I have a soft spot for multiple DAC's.
