Accuphase DC-1000 Processor/DAC

After a recent thread on streamers I decided to look into DACs, particularly the Accuphase DC-1000.  Currently own an Accuphase DC-37 Processor/DAC . My Innuos Pulsar feeds the DC-37  via Innuos Phoenix USB out. The DC-37 feeds my Accuphase C2300 preamplifier via XLR.  Seeing that streaming is my only source for music,  I'm considering upgrading my DAC to the Accuphase DC-1000 and I'm wondering if this is an actual and noteworthy upgrade.

@audiopacer: I feel exactly the same about the difference between the Dac section of my DP-550 and the combined use of its transport and Dac during CD / SACD playback!

@audiopacer well I did it! I bought an Accuphase DC-1000. As soon as I have it plugged in and running I'll report back.  I can't tell you how excited I am.

Congratulations!

Just a warning to all Accuphase dac users (applies to CD/SACD players as well):

avoid hot swapping the USB cable, there's a risk it could damage the USB receiver.. Just turn off the dac first.
