USB vs Disc quality on Oppo
Oh I have. Can't say I hear any difference. What I guess I am really asking is what different digital processes are taking place with the reading of the data prior to sending it out to the DAC - if any. 
Want to start my analog journey

Be sure you give the Purists their break in time. It truly does make a difference. It might take at least 100 hours or so. 
Dielectric grease and tubes
Check. Won't use it. The only reason I thought of it was because when you install spark plug wires you dab a bit on the electrical connections prior to installing them. Didn't know if there was a similar use here.

By 200's I means the D200 mk ii from ciaudio

Oh I absolutely agree. This was more of a pondering thought kinda thing than an absolute. 
What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000?
The new NAD M51 DAC. I have it, it sounds wonderful to me, can act as a preamp and has a variety of inputs. Has sigle ended as well as ballaced outputs. Sterophile did a review of it recently, if that interests you. Costs $2000.
