Passlabs D1 (PCM63) vs. Threshold DAC-2 (Ultra Analog D20400a) - who have heard both?

Let it be known that my idea was only moderately greedy.

Pop has already published the schematic for the Zen I/V, and the store has matched JFETs. We would just need a good PCB done up.

(I'd settle for a gerber if anyone is holding)

Hey, a boy can dream.
 
here's what I can give, from my old files

PCM63 based dacs are very special , i had PASS D1 , WADIA 9 , Stax dac Talent and all these ones are fantastic natural sounding Dacs. and now i still have a french Audiomat TAngo 2.5 redbook only and i will keep it even if could have modern dacs for free.. ( i have tried tons of them )
