Any DAC comparable to my Linn Akurate CD ?

I use a 2009 Mac mini and it beats any transport on the planet at any cost. It is powered by a modded Hynes power supply and has SSD. Playback software is Amarra and there are other OS tweaks. The only server that comes close is the Antipodes server from New Zealand. I have heard them all at trade shows.

There are a lot of crappy computer sources out there, but this one is excellent. I have modded a lot of transports in the past and this beats my best modded transport.

@all, thanks for every answer, folks !

@Srwooten: I will try to make an audition of PS Audio DS...

@B_limo: I asked this question to myself: is there a way to intercept the I2S path inside my Akurate CD/SACD and install an Amanero USB card, just for an example? Maybe yes, but I have not found any company or artisan to do so. So for the moment the idea is abandoned.

@Audioengr: Empirical Audio Overdrive... I evaluated also this option, because it seems a wonderful DAC. The problem is I cannot try it at home in Italy (like Lampi and others).

@Igator: Be sure the Akurate DS will be my option if I cannot find a DAC with the same sound as my Akurate CD. I don't say I want a DAC that perform better, because it depends on every customer's setup. At least I can convert my 40 SACD .iso obtained by ps3 with Saracon from DSD to 24/176.
My problem is the investment made in MacMini and other stuff, to be converted to a storage NAS.
Akurate DSM afaik is a preamp too, right ?

MSB Analog can be a good choice, I will try to listen it at home.

Just for let you focus on my musical taste: in this moment I'm listening a DCS Debussy. Not very good in my setup. Mid-bass too preeminent and overall not so much emotional, too prim, compared to Akurate CD.
Very good for jazz and some Classical, but with Rock/Electronica it is far from Akurate.
I'll send back to the shop asap ;-)

I have a Tascam DA3000 that has a USB input.

If you like the Linn, they why not just add an Off-Ramp 5 and use this to get USB input to S/DIF coax to your Linn?

The OR5 will sound better than 99% of USB interfaces on other DACs anyway.

You can further improve the SQ of the OR5 by replacing the AC adapter with the Dynamo power supply option. the best coax cable is my BNC-BNC coax with RCA adapters, also an option.

@Steve: unfortunately the Linn Akurate CD does not have any SP/Dif input...
