Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC?

Seems like a lot of DAC for the money. ($1450-$1600)

It’s a new DAC with two mono ESS9038pro DAC chips in parallel (said to be equivalent to 32 9028 DAC channels in parallel).and with fully discrete output stages....no op amps.

Now I have heard the Nagra $30K DAC and that is incredible. Waiting to see how close this will be. The reason for the mods when new is that once I bring home, I will never be able to ship it back out for mods, so just getting them in beginning is easier. He does quite a bit to it, will get you a list once I get the invoice. Thanks
