Just as in Canada, there is CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)), in Hi Fi, not only are the proponents of Vinyl, there are proponents of "Real Amplification" (read: non-digital) irregardless of source.
With a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of 150 dB, the Hegel HD30 DAC ($4,800.00 USD) is audio's first fully-functioning 24-bit component. More-over, it provides the wonderfully functioning DSD and is poised be the ideal source.In fact, it's performance borders on 25-bit.
What's wrong with the picture? Well, it's not flat - it's faceplate is marred by a nafty vacum-flourescent calculator style sweet-arse display (remember: boobless? 55378008 upside down) and non-necessary knobs: a pair, in fact!

Hegel is not immune to performance. Their Super Headphone Amplifier / DAC for example, is 140 dB in terms of noise floor.
