I tried it out and it was decent but not great to my ears. I remember enjoying the old Stellar Gain Cell DAC back in the day which had a lot to offer for a pretty low price. The Gold is more than double that price and to me doesn't really justify it.
It's not bad sounding just doesn't really stand out either, and there are so many overachieving DACs in the $2-3k space that I would probably recommend a bunch of others before the Gold.
Or, to stay in the PS Audio family, I would just snag a second hand DirectStream (original version) which can easily be found for much less than the Gold. It's getting older but still a great sounding device which I think sounds better than the Gold.
