Knowing Brent as I do, its going to be very good. I know for a fact the spec of the original unit was changed to meet his much more "audiophile" requirements. The PSU capacitors are all of the quality he fits in his commercial mods and the opamps were also swapped for National Semiconductors LME49720 (the std dil package version of the LME49720HA "tin hat" versions I put into you Teac VRDS spinner). Fidelity Audio also has a review in Hifi World (Feb 2012) for a Level 2 mod package. They pitched a Cambridge 650C Azur priced at £300 with a £410 upgrade package (total £710) against a Naim CD5 @ £1500 and guess what......the Cambridge wiped the floor with it!!! LOL Kind of off topic again, but it does give you some idea about what he's up to and the kind of levels he's punching at. That DAC will be very very good. Just as a side note, it uses the same chip that's used in a Consonance Reference CD2.2 which I was very impressed with when I heard.
