I can only imagine that reel to reel tape at 7 1/2 ips might be hard to beat. My only reel to reel experience was as a kid in Japan with a "portable" reel to reel recorder taping AM radio ;-)My two favorite DACs were the Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC and the PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC. I'm not a big fan of DSD but both of these DACs were follow ups to earlier models [w/o the DSD desginations] and were completely new internally even though both manufacturers chose to use their existing chassis enclosures. I still have my PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC today. I kept it over my Ayre only because the PS Audio is ever so slightly more 'full bodied' or 'robust' sounding.
My Home Office Setup 2015:
PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC | Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC | Ayre AX-7e Integrated
