But if your output is LED, the best you can possibly see is 20 Hz or so.

no mutiplexing, just 30 leds wired direct to the binary>decimal convertor.
update rate of the leds would be the rate the data under the probe changes state - that's why the latch is between the dac and binary>decimal decoder.
now 20MHz is kind of worse case - most signals would be 4MHz or less - i picked 20 because it's kind of the max you would see a 74ALS series being run.
i know they can go higher but it's very rare.

So you want to make something like the following but with a higher BW?

i can pause the latch on the buffer to hold the sample - or maybe feed it with a 2-3Hz clock

no, that's a 2D display, i'm after a single row of 30led's
your on the right track though, imagine a VU meter with a 20MHz+ frontend.

That is neat. I made exactly the same thing... over 30 years ago. Only mine had a 16 wide * 8 height display.
