Well, that's true, but in my situation, I've never had any audio equipment that even approaches the audio quality that I heard out of that room. So, I feel like the DAC in the 585 might be great for me for some time. Also, I suspect that, once you get to a certain level of DAC, the overall sound quality you hear will be more dependent on the quality level of the pre-amp and power amp sections of an integrated amp, and the 585 has that in spades.
BTW, there is a newer version of the 585, the 585.5, which incorporates the top flight phono stage from their pre-amps, but they get you for another $4000, bringing the retail price of the 585.5 to $16,000.
