There is an Audio Mirror Tubadour III listed on the other site for a half of what you want to spend. It can be upgraded to one of new newer models, assuming you like the sound   Years ago Tubadour III replaced my Bryston BDA-3 DAC. I am on much m... 
Audio Mirror Tubadour VI DAC
My two opposite recommendation: Tung-Sol 6202. Beautiful warm sound, but big and fat. Could be good for brighter systems. Perfect tube for small jazz ensembles, wooden instruments. Lacks some higths sparkle, but some people may like that. Tesla ...

Anyone have a pair of ICON Parsec speakers?
