The best no-compromise digital options?

If we take a look at the three digital playback formats most common today (CD, SACD and DVD-A/V), what would you consider the 3 top of the line options for each format.

My thoughts would be:

CD
Zanden Model 2000P/5000S
Burmester 069
Soulution Audio 740

SACD
dCS Scarlatti
Esoteric P-01VU/G-0Rb/D-01VU
The upcoming Wadia 971/932/922

DVD-A/V
Goldmund Eidos Reference
MBL 1622A/1611F
APL Hi-Fi NWO-3.0 GO SE

I feel the best no-compromise digital is either the Pyramix DSD/DXD system coupled to a Digital Audio Denmark AX24 or the Sonoma system coupled to the EMM Labs Professional converters. That way you can rip the CD's or DSD's with a decent transport and buy a used Denon 5910 and modify the outputs to send a hi-rez signal to the recording rigs... Best of ALL Worlds... About $40k
