I saw this on eBay.

There is no manufacturer or model listed, so it is hard to confirm if it is actually supported by Dirac. Any idea if this is real or fake?

Lack of any brand name whatsoever screams Clone….I would be very weary and while the product might work out of the box, I would not expect any after sales service or Firmware updates/upgrades.

It looks like a clone of a Monolith HTP-1, in which case it is overpriced!

Does look like a Monoprice. Bet here is they wanted to dump some overproduction and/or off-spec rework items, and sold them to these guys at a steep discount. Doesn't look like they're passing those savings on to their customers--at least not yet.

BTW, I think ATI makes most of Monoprice's electronics.
