to replace or not to replace accuphase DAC

Hi all, I would like to know your opinion regarding the following issue. I have an older Accuphase digital combo (DP-90/DC-91). This combo was considered to be no compromise state-of-the-art in 1992. In certain ways it is still no slouch compared to the current offerings of transports/DACs. Do you think it would worthwhile to replace the DC-91 DAC with a more contemporary one, like the Reimyo DAP-777 or Accustic Arts DAC? Or do you think it might be even better to replace the Accuphase combo (transport + DAC)? I would especially like to hear the suggestions of those who are familiar with the Accuphase combo or with Accuphase CDPs. Thank you.

Chris:
I own an Accuphase 55V and was thinking to chanfe for euther a higher model from Accuphase or another CDP. I was lucky enough to hear some options in my system and finaly decided to stay as I was (and I am happy of taking that decision)

Clean your cable contacts, check your AC polarity and health, try some aurios feet and relax.

Chris - I heard the Accuphase versus other cdps like Wadia, CEC/Benchmark my previous Metronome and lower scaled cdps like Creek, Rotel and mod-pioneers at friends setups.

I heard the Accuphase at the dealer site here in Mexico, and always liked the Accuphase sonic signature, great detail, musicality and the ability to conect it directly to the CJ amps (it is actually connected that way).
