Dated but still A rated DACs

Looking to purchase a great sounding used DAC , unless I can obtain equal quality on a new one. Your thoughts?

I also put an Akiko tuning stick in one of the Ayre XLR inputs. It's very neutral and transparent without sounding cold. Audirvana Plus is 100% compatible with my DAC and the upgrades. I'm running my Ayre DAC through an ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier and through a pair of Quad 2905 ESL's.

People don't go after it because the name doesn't impress their friends but that thing runs PCM-63's and I have owned it before. Actually, the NM24 used the 1704. It is the M24, which I have, that uses the 63.
