Illuminati (1st Degree)

I chose this one because it's so cheap, but I'm especially intrigued by their $368 DAC-60, which uses the much better 24/96 Burr Brown PCM-1704 dac chip and has a 6922 tube buffer output stage. I'll post my impressions of the DAC-AH after it has had a couple of weeks to break in. It would really be cool if someone else bought the DiyBiz DAC-60 or the DAC-72 and we could do a comparison of these and other non-mainstream DAC's like the Scott Nixon and the dAck! at next year's Great Plains Audio Fest.

On another digital-related topic, I'm very happy with my Onix XCD-88 with the upgrade OPA627 op amps. This one is also an incredible bargain at $299, and it comes from a US based distributor.
