The upgraded op-amp (Burr Brown OPA627) did not go into use here until early winter, 2009. Thus that 2007 production unit would not have them as original equipment. Of course it could have been upgraded later by the owner.
The Ultra DAC is a hybrid tube unit, the Insight Plus DAC was all solid state. Both are now replaced by newer and better models, The Vision DAC (solid state using the newest Wolfson chip set) and the Vision Hybird DAC (hybrid tube DAC using the same Wolfson chip set).
Regarding the older models you asked about, the Ultra hybrid DAC was the most musical of those two. The Insight Plus solid state DAC is really nice and transparent and free of any grain or glare, but the tube hybrid models seem always to be best in presenting all of the musical emotional content of the midrange while still retaining all of the dynamics, range, and transparency we all strive for.
