AKM dacs - which products use them ?

I have been pleasently surprised with the sound of my low-cost soundcard EMU 0404 and Behringer DEQ2496 digital EQ/AD/DA. They have a warm and natural sound to them.
I have noticed they both use AKM dacs which if I recall is the tool of choice for APL's Alex Peychev super modded Esoteric players which are supposed to be the "best digital sources on the planet".

I am trying to compile a list of audiophile dacs or cd/dvd players that use them hoping to find an upper scale product which would do the full justice to those dac chips in a full blown implementation.

Correction, Alex of APL HiFi does not use the AKM dacs only in the new Esoteric ucdp he recently started modding.

For a number of months now, Alex has also been using AKM dacs in his later versions of the more reasonably priced APL modified Denon 3910 universal cd player.
