It's worth a try I would say.
I know that there are also tube based "buffer" preamps as well. Arthur's vaunted Audion Quattro (see his preamps with phono) uses a cathode follower line stage, which is essentially a zero gain buffer.
It is also not the first zero gain SS buffer that has been available, either commercially or DIY (I remember Corey Greenberg from Stereophile had an article on a homemade SS buffer using a particular monolithic buffer chip).
Why this one is superior might have to do with the light controlled attenuation rather than a standard potentiometer, stepped attenuator or TVC.
At the price available it seems not to hard to try it out.
