to replace or not to replace accuphase DAC

Hi all, I would like to know your opinion regarding the following issue. I have an older Accuphase digital combo (DP-90/DC-91). This combo was considered to be no compromise state-of-the-art in 1992. In certain ways it is still no slouch compared to the current offerings of transports/DACs. Do you think it would worthwhile to replace the DC-91 DAC with a more contemporary one, like the Reimyo DAP-777 or Accustic Arts DAC? Or do you think it might be even better to replace the Accuphase combo (transport + DAC)? I would especially like to hear the suggestions of those who are familiar with the Accuphase combo or with Accuphase CDPs. Thank you.

Thanks for your response Fernando. Which CDP's did you hear other than the Accuphase? What was the crucial factor for your decision to keep the DP-55V?

I'm thinking of the following options:
1. To replace my DAC with Reimyo DAP-777 or Accustic Arts DAC
2. To replace my transport/DAC.
3. To go for harddisk based music server.
4. Or not replace anything.
