Good for its time [late 90s.] Be aware of reliability issues. [I had to wait 6+ weeks for the factory to replace a chip and have heard of other horror stories to surpass this.]
I found it to be smooth and detailed. Musical always. I also found the factory service to fast and inexpensive. I used it with the AES/EBU input and balanced output.
The Classe 1 DAC is a very nice sounding player. The Electro DAC throws a wider and deeper soundstage but overall was not as sweet in the mids. Find a nice tube DAC like an old Audio Logic 34 and then forget about it.
