Agree with you on the Bursons - see Samuel Groner's test results. They measure worse in almost all respects than ICs.

REALLY!! Well... thanks for that!! Any recommedations, pro or con, for upgrading a 12 year old dac?

It all rather depends what you perceive the shortcomings of your current dac to be. Incidentally this discrete opamp is the reference standard for the others to beat:
