SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC

Silly question? Maybe not. I've been really enjoying the SACD format for some time. Relatively recently, I've been exposed to NOS DACs and have found there are a LOT of similarities: smoothness. They both sound like analog!!

So, now I'm at a point where I'm considering dumping my SACDP for a computer-based system with NOS/filterless DAC. I was just wondering if others have gone this very same route and have thoughts to share?

I have a computer system with a NOS DAC -- see my system. I love it! Did I mention that I love it!

Anyway, I was a SACD early adopter. I had about 150 SACD's at one point. I sold all my single layered SACD's and many of my hybrids over a year ago. I still have 20-30 that are collecting dust. I pretty much listen to my computer and DAC set-up now exclusively.

Many SACD's sounded really good. I am just as satisfied with redbook now.
