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.

I hate to go off topic so to speak, but did you ever have a chance to listen to the Mojo DAC? Or did I miss your impressions? Thanks!

Matt,

Since it is slow, I have a question about the Mojo DAC. You said it came with Sorbothane feet under the chassis. Did you try other footers or isolation devices with it? If so, how much did they affect the sound? Thanks a lot.
