    Hi Dimitri

    The seller listed the item as first dispatch on 7th Dec, but he mailed me two days ago saying they are in early & mine has been shipped..I'm apparently the first in the UK!!

    I think the tube only works on pre-out, it doesnt work on headset out..

    Must say it looks mighty interesting!
    If I hadn't bought a TC-7520 this would be something to have a look at

    Please keep us updated on how it stacks up to the other "cheap" DAC's available!

    I'm always surprised how well laid out these cheap DACs are. They're also made quite well too. I believe that if the circuits are laid out well and the power supply rails are clean and routed well away from any digital lines you deal with problems such as jitter before they start. I would love to hear how well these compare to higher end dacs such as a DAC64 and Benchmark etc (Including Stan's DAC of course).
