A digital product that's designed to look comfortingly 'analogue', the £2k DAC215 is an inspired visual match for the company's CTA506 power amplifer [HFN Jun'12] and, being a Copland product, it has a couple of tubes on board for good measure. There's a stereo pair of analogue line inputs, so to play vinyl records as well as digital sources, you need only add a phono stage to allow the DAC215 function as your main preamp. Meanwhile it can handle all the high-resolution digital signals you might care to offer it, including LPCM up to 384kHz/32-bit, as well as DSD64 and DSD 128.
