Vlad Bazelkov of Audio Mirror was by the house last month, spotted the DAC-60, and asked if he could look inside. I told him to take it back to his shop and have his way with it:) I got it back today with a few mods, including a bypass cap on the cathode resistors, and the 6922's replaced with 6N1P's. Initially when I received the DAC-60 my only disappointment was that the treble sounded a bit attenuated compared to the analog output of my Onix CD player. That is no longer a problem with the upgrades - the treble is very good, and I believe the soundsage is more convincing and the overall sound is a bit more dynamic too. This thing definitely is a keeper. I believe the next change will be to upgrade the output caps, probably with Auricaps (the stock caps are those blue rectangular thingies behind the tubes in the photo).
