Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?

Dang! What luck! As far as sound; really full & smooth. Hard to describe, but there just seems to be fewer holes in the stream. The response seems balanced low to high. I have a Softone Model3 player that had 98% of the Paradesia sound except for a mild treble roll off. That is now corrected and I can just bask in the music.

That's the first thing I noticed about the Paradisea..it sounds full in comparison to other DACs and CD players I've heard against it. The tube is definitely doing its job!

I like the stock tube fine, too. I put in a NOS 1950's Raytheon 5670 blackplate just to get oldskool tube quality. I use a 75 ohm coaxial now, but am looking for advice / experience with fibre optic cable.
