    @JeremiahS, this review and this brief follow-up might help. Let me put it this way: if I preferred NOS DACs (which I might someday), I'd be all over this. Apart from that, all I can tell you is that @k4rstar is amongst the best—in everything.

    Thanks... It seems that this is a unique piece of equipment . Not sure how the SFD-2 compare to a true NOS sound which is something I'm curious about.
