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.

The new series from Metronome are spectacular and the Kalista transport is nothing short of state-of-the-art. The Kalista has been reviewed as the most resolving/neutral transport out there and comparable to vinyl. Aesthetics and build quality is jaw dropping!

We will be showing the Kalista & its' matching C2A DAC (6922 output) at LA show - Salon 212 with Wilson & Lamm. We will also be introducing the new Gaia turntable - Metronome's design to be the absolute best TT.

Also, the Metronome CD3-Signature will be in #375 w/Rethm speakers, New Audio Frontiers 845 SET amp, Sound Engineering TT and Stealth cables.

Any questions, contact us through our website. Or just visit us at the Stereophile show.
