I believe this is what you are referring to. If I recall correctly Mike Moffat feels the PCM63 was one of the best DAC chips ever made.
"Another rather unknown fact is the use of Burr Brown PCM63K DAC's. This is the only instance that these highly rated DAC's were used to incorporate 24 bit resolution. It is a special design by Keith Johnson who hand picked and tested for specific highest quality DAC chips and then used a technical tour d force design to allow for 24/88 on the PM HD1 and 24/192 on the PM HD2. I now use the HD2 as my reference DAC and it sounds better than any DAC
I have ever tested some approaching $30,000. "
