AKM dacs - which products use them ?

I have been pleasently surprised with the sound of my low-cost soundcard EMU 0404 and Behringer DEQ2496 digital EQ/AD/DA. They have a warm and natural sound to them.
I have noticed they both use AKM dacs which if I recall is the tool of choice for APL's Alex Peychev super modded Esoteric players which are supposed to be the "best digital sources on the planet".

I am trying to compile a list of audiophile dacs or cd/dvd players that use them hoping to find an upper scale product which would do the full justice to those dac chips in a full blown implementation.

Is this AKM related business not just a hype? I mean, I don't care whether a DAC unit has this "Miracle DAC" or not. I'm only interested in it's sound. Does the Miracle DAC guarantee whatsoever a good sound? It's as if the marketing says: If your DAC unit doesn't have the AKM, it is flawed...
