Thrax Maximinus mk3, Rumen Artarski CEO and of course Ed Meitner of EMM Labs.
the last one that surprised me was the soekris dac board, lampizator use it at the baltic. directly behind resistance ladder with tube output stage, buffer or lundahl output transformer. sounds phantastic like a good analog performance. unfortunately only for diy builders. it took me a year to perfect it, then it plays in the very expensive league

Wow, that takes me back in time to my first CD player, a Philips model that I bought in 1985. I think it used a variant of this chipset called the TDA1541, produced from 1984-88. The A version came a bit later.Philips - love the TDA1541A

Yes, the TDA1541 was the peak of the early R2R ladder DAC movement before Bitstream took over. Interestingly, Bitstream went on to become DSD and the R2R DAC technology is now very prevalent in high end DACs.
The TDA1541 is an incredible sounding DAC when you implement it well - without the corresponding digital filter of the time. Interestingly, Audio Note's Top of the line DAC (level 6) uses a similar vintage chip the AD1865.
