MSB select II vs all dacs ?

Wherever I read I see unanimous praise for the MSB Select II. Of course this DAC is super pricey and out of the reach of many (including me). I wanted to know for anyone who has heard it have you also heard a DAC that approached it in sonic performance? One name that was thrown around by a few people I know is the  Rockna Wavedream. Anyone make that comparison?

I have an MSB Discrete R2R ladder dac, and direct into any of the amps I have, and it makes PCM RedBook CD (any vintage) sound great.
Rich full bodied mids airy transparent highs, huge sound stage, slamming tight deep bass, pinpoint imaging and depth.
The sound no matter how loud you play, just washes over you, instead of trying to burn laser holes in you.
It made me realize all those old/new CD’s that always sounded fair and I didn’t play that much, are now sounding like they were done yesterday, (those new and old that aren’t compressed that is).
