I like it, nice aesthetics and nice objective measurements, it's performing well!
I'd say Filter #3 looks the best to me, as in no major roll off before 20kHz and reasonable attenuation after:
50mv performance is not spectacular but it's fine (what's 3dB SNR between friends afterall!):
I think the spectacular nature of this DAC/amp will come down to how it's priced, it's a balanced DAC/amp so that's a plus with plenty of power, totally transparent, what more do you need!
EDIT: I'll vote in the poll when the price comes in.
EDIT #2: The price has come in, $210 - I'd say that's a very good price considering it's a perfect performer and included a headphone amp along with the DAC, and of course the balanced output too as an additional bonus. I voted in the poll, had to be the best rating!
