For anyone else considering these DACs... I own a DAC 19 and have heard a friend's NFB-2.  The DAC 19 is a little more forward sounding without being harsh.  The NFB-3 is more 'tubey'.  Perhaps this is the difference between the Burr Brown and Woflston chips?  I suppose your best bet depends on what you're looking to add to your system.  It seems the Audio GD Dacs don't add much color to the sound, though.  They stay very true to source material.  Hope this helps.
