It is almost impossible to find one around here although I've managed to locate one - DC-300. Currently my sources (beside DP-65V) are Bluesound Node 2 / Chord DAC and Pro ject turntable / Phono Box RS connected to ML preamp. My $1000000 question is : is it still good idea to use DC-300 as a preamp bearing in mind its 24/96 limitations? I play hi res files up to 24/192 hence I don't know if I should get DC-300 or wait for analogue preamp to pop up around here hopefully some time soon...

A good match to your P-450 would be a C-265 analog pre. (You might also go for any newer analog preamp.)
I would
not recommend one of the the digital preamps DC-300 / DC-330. With the advent of Accuphase's AAVA volume control in 2002 (C-2800), Accuphase completely abandoned the digital preamps.
