I think that AN DACs symply point the heart of the music like best components do. Because of my job I have heard to DAC 3.1, DAC 4 Sig., DAC 5 and have compared to reference digital front end of the moment (Wadia 880, MarkLevinson ML37+360S and recently DCS Verdi+Elgar). Sometimes I found their digital resoution far from the top but I couldn't say the same about the sound they let you experience. I'm sure you've made a good choice. Enjoy it while SACD is growin' up.
PS I suggest you to replace the original tubes with the best European NOS you can find.
