Audio Note DAC Kit 1.1 Awesome!

This DAC is amazing! All those qualities I thought I would probably never get from 16/44 CD are there. That sense of life, real people playing real instruments. A sense of ease and musical flow. No listener fatigue here. Weight and dynamics. Wholeness and continuity. Incredible detail naturally integrated into the music, not etched or in your face. You know, the stuff you love about live music. Forget about the expensive, and elusive new formats. Get this and rediscover all the great music in your CD collection.

Here's the kicker; price. for around $700 US you can get the kit and assemble it yourself (I understand it is fairly easy.). For $200 more you can get it assembled like I did. Michael Kerster of Audionote North America is a good guy to deal with. If he assembles it, he'll give you a 10 day return period, but you won't be sending it back!

How do they do it? Basically they have eliminated the oversampling and digital filtering.
I have certainly not heard everything out there, but I seriously doubt you can find something else like this at anywhere near the price.
