Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Hi All.

Putting together a reference level system.
My Source is predominantly standard 16/44 played from a MacMini using iTunes and Amarra. Some of my music is purchased from iTunes and the rest is ripped from standard CD's.
For my tastes in music, my high def catalogues are still limited; so Redbook 16/44 will be my primary source for quite some time.

I'm not spending DCS or MSB money. But $15-20k retail is not out of the question.

Upsampling vs non-upsampling?
USB input vs SPDIF?

All opinions welcome.

And I know I need to hear them, but getting these ultra $$$ DAC's into your house for an audition ain't easy.

Looking for musical, emotional, engaging, accurate , with great dimension. Not looking for analytical and sterile.

HI all.

This is Larry of Distinctive Stereo.  As this is my first time here I don't want to be accused of self-promotion, but I do want to thank Matt for his kind words on my listening room and system (I am the U.S. importer of German Physiks loudspeakers, which he forgot to mention-!), in particular the Exogal Comet.  I also appreciate the Exogal head honcho for contributing to the thread.

Needless to say, anyone in the NJ/NYC area who has an interest in or questions about the Exogal, please feel free to contact me.

And now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Regards,

Larry
