Another suggestion would be the Synergistic Research D-3 digital IC. It easily trounced a very good Esoteric digital IC in my system costing more than twice as much, which in turn had sounded better than VD Rev.
The D-3 is probably 1 of the last true real "bargains" in high-end audio today. It is definitely worth auditioning - you will probably be as amazed as I was.... It is still in my system and is absolutely worth a try. A good SR dealer will let you do this for no charge, which pretty much makes this a no-brainer. All systems are different, but this IC is really something special, especially at its price point!
I have heard nothing better in my system under $5K
