Looking for an outstanding DAC


I own a CHORD DAC64 connected to an Audiomecca MEPHISTO II-X transport. But I feel I could get more out of my transport. Looking for a 2nd hand DAC (Therefore EMM DCC2 is out for now). I also don't like tube electronics. I am hesitating between a DCS Purcell+ELGAR combo or a Weiss Medea DAC. Any recommandations? Thanks!

I have finally opted for the DCS Combo (Purcell+ELGAR). The results are outstanding and far outperformed the DAC64. I did not have the chance to listen to the Blu, but I am very happy with my Mephisto + DCS combo. Note that the digital cables play a critical role in this setup. I finally chose Tara Labs the One: perfect neutrality and all the details without an inch of agressivity. Thank you all for the input.
HI FOLKS
Vinyldoes I too liked the Reimyo DAP-777,but when I called a dealer and heard the price I almost went on cardiac arrest. Thats serious dough.

Enjoy the music

George, there is a used one for $2,300 on Audigon. Can't beat it for the price. I just bought a used one from overseas for $2,250. I will be posting a review shortly on it.
HI SLINGSHOT
Maybe I am confusing it with something else ,but if memory serves me well,I e-mailed a dealer for it,and he said it lists for 17000$ but he had a demo give-away for 15000$.
It was a japanese make ,it must be that,unless they have a higher model than .Actually wait a minute ,yes it was a stand-alone Reimyo cd player not a dac.
George: I think the quality of the DAC is much more important then the quality of the transport part of a cd player. So if you buy the used DAC you are getting most of the quality of the Reimyo CD player at a fraction of the price. I also purchased a brand new CAL-2500 DVD player and plan on purchasing an XLR digital cable to link it to the DAP-777. However, just using an HT digital cable, I am hearing much better resolution than I have ever heard before.
