I use two Sony CDR-W66 units in my system, and I think they are great. I do not use an external DAC, because I think the internal ones sound fantastic. Also, the ADC section is really nice; probably the best out there short of a full-scale Apogee system.
I know where you can get these at a terrific price ($700, shipping included). E-mail me if you are interested.
