It arrived Friday morning!

Very stoutly made of good quality materials, but fit 'n finish are a "B" mostly due to small blemishes and a couple of screw heads which didn't lie quite flush. I did some minor detailing, and it looks fine now.

The DAC board is the inverted card on the righthand side. If voltage is sensed on the USB connector, a relay switches over from the RCA jacks to the DAC.

So far, sonics are not bad at all! I spent a few hours last night listening to tunes I had ripped as Apple Lossless and sent via USB, and it certainly wasn't thin or harsh-sounding--gotta give the engineers at Burr-Brown some credit here.

I also downloaded a free sampler (USA only, sorry) of high quality tunes from here, and this also sounded good (sonically anyhow):
