Dated but still A rated DACs

Surprisingly no one suggested the usual suspect, Schiit Yggdrasil. No personal experience but lots of positive reviews and lots of love...

Seeing it was bought up, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the Schiit Yggdrasil.

But I believe the OP wanted "Dated but still A rated DACs" not new but best old school R2R format dac’s for doing RedBook.
Just incase here a link for the OP to follow.

Thank you all for your recommendations... and yes, Redbook only

My current and last dac I plan to own is an older McIntosh MDA 1000. Just an amazing analog sounding dac. Also have an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 which the Mac replaced. Very close to the sonics of the Mac but less costly. It's currently for sale on USA A Mart.

I still have my Theta Prime dac & Pearl transport . I bought these new in the early 90s , and they haven't disappointed me yet.

Just FYI, Mytek seems to have some pretty significant growing pains.  Sounds like they make a great product, but if they can't invest in the business enough to respond to customers and deliver product you have to consider if this is a good investment down the road.  Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY much rooting for them.  But the audio trash heap is littered with great products that had no real long-term business plan or financing, which ultimately led to their failure.  I'd echo my previous recommendations for Bel Canto or Metrum.  Again, best of luck.
