here is a recent DAC I purchased
the good: separate transformers for analog and digital stages. AD797 Op Amps and lots of poly caps. Cirrus CS4396 DAC. The USB does NOT use the TI 2706/7. Over all probably just a populated app note for Cirrus ICs with high quality OP amps and other components - not sure what else you could want besides differential outputs. Very impressive for $200!
the bad: kind of a tacky/ cheap project box, especially the face plate and volume knob. No button to change inputs (don't lose the remote!)
