AA DDE v3.0 vs. newer stuff

Currently using an Audio Alchemy DDE v3.0 / DTI 2.0 combo driven by a Marantz CD67SE. Can any past/present owners of AA gear weigh in on how this rig compares to some of the newer stuff out there in the ~$1000 range (new or used). Been out of the hifi hobby for some time, and wondering if the AA stuff is just plain outclassed by the newer technology.

System:
Digital front end (above)
McCormack TLC-1
Classe CA-100
Acoustic Energy AE1s.

Thanks.
