Get rid of the National. Although stamped 7308, it's really a 6922 (a poor one at that). Yamada will build the 5000 on a "special order" basis for use with a E188CC (7308) but the standard is a 6922 because of availability.
I'd recommend a NOS Amperex Holland, Tele or Siemens&Halske (1960's) depending on the rest of your system and personal preferences.
You have one of the finest DAC's on the planet and will enjoy it for years to come. The transport and power cords also make a big difference.
