Warm sounding, 24/96,  with 12AT7 tube.

Currently connected only for coaxial input, but the board does support USB. 
Parts quality includes cap upgrades, and silver wire in the output.  Probably other upgrades that I haven't noticed.

The 12AT7 is an American tube, RCA I think, but not sure.  I never tried other 12AT7's in it.
Solid, heavy steel chassis.

Since I took the photos of this unit, I've replaced the Mundorf foil caps with good poly caps, Rhodersteins I believe with Sonic Cap bypasses , and I prefer the sound of these new ones.  The sound is warm, and non-fatiguing, but not especially detailed.

$140 obo shipping included. 

I also have a couple nice DAC cables.  One is by Boulder Cable Company (warm sounding) and the other is a DIY (more neutral sounding). I would include one for not much extra.
