Pity, all that’s missing is a volume control so you can go direct to amp, as it has 2.5v output.

Some good reading on it here posted by project86

Call me “cheap skate”, I’m in George...🙃and I thank you for heads up!
Cheers!   
I think it’s the six month wait that’s a deal buster for some of us. That’s a long time in the world of digital technology, and who knows what’s going to turrn up in the interim.
Only 187 sold so far.  I'm surprised no one has mentioned the dishonest response from the "designer" concerning the obvious copy of the Hibiki (Sosolar) design.  I'm not saying anything illegal has occurred, but the way it's been handled so far has been shameful in my opinion.
If it's the price you find appealing, there's also the Audio-Gd R2R DAC.
You can read about it here at Audio-gd's R2R 11 is another $350 R-2R DAC | Darko.Audio.

There's no half year waiting list and it's power supply is built in.

All the best,

And I must admit the case for plagiarism / intellectual theft is pretty strong.
