They had the DAC at Axpona too, both in the headphone area, connected to a Z10E and also one of the 2 channel rooms, connected to a Ultralinear + integrated. I can’t speak for the DAC, as there was no way to compare, but the chain sounded great.

And they were nice enough to allow me to demo my headphones on the Ultralinear +, and I enjoyed the sound of the DAC and amp so much that I bought the amp.

I wish they had the DAC in the headphones section, but they might not have had enough of them to go around at PAF.

I’m pretty sure the closed-back ZMF they had there was the Atrium Closed:
