Going off the reference page of "Preamplifier Output, Driver & Interstage Transformers" the "cheapest" Primary Winding SILVER OPT is:

TRANS-011/03-AN cost British Pounds £ 2,109.80 or US $4,173

A couple of observations:

I noticed the Audio Note 4.1 X Balanced Signature (ANUK)uses a "double C-core copper wired output transformer".

DAC 5 special uses "AN-Perma 50 double C-cores providing 600R balanced outputs"

DAC 5 Signature uses "custom Audio Note™ silver wired output transformer on 0.1 AN-Perma 50 double C-cores"

Regarding upgraded OPT- A quote from the AN Kit states:

"The ones that we normally supply are copper primary/copper secondary types. More expensive silver wound versions are also available - but only by special order."

The idea that one could get close to a Kit version of a DAC 5 is naive. But, I am thinking that a combination of upgraded OPT's among a few other selected upgrades might get a kit version sounding very, very good. The problem is, I don't think we're going to get a lot of help AN for the development of "SuperKit DAC" because of business reasons.
