SENSE G1B Tube Headphone AMP/USB DAC

Has anybody heard about this AMP/DAC? The DAC chip is really old (I'm guessing some sort of sucessor to the TDA1543 used by the VALAB DAC's). I'd like to have more details of what's inside, but for $130, it seems like a steal. Uses a 12AU7 for you tube rollers.

This is the same seller who offers the phenix G3 and G3-T7. That shipping fee is a big time rip off.

Shipping may not be the actual shipping costs, but even for the combined price, it seems to be a pretty good deal (at least shipped to the USA).

I would like to recover this thread. Has anyone finally tested this AMP/DAC? What are your experiences if so?

Hello

I have only around ten hours so far on my G1B and will follow up with a little more detail soon.

But so far I am enjoying this little unit, old tech Philips TDA1350T bitstream Dac chip +  Chinese 12AU7 and limited to 16 bit, but a very musical end result non the less.

I have an old Mullard ECC82 on its way to me in the next few days that i will try out, but the tube supplied with the G1B sounds pretty good, if a little tubby in the bass, but its early days yet.
