Found this DAC/AMP. Chinese website it's called: 15 R2R, in the Netherlands it's called S15.
Can anyone vouch for this product? Sadly much more expensive in EU.

Edit: Bought it. Quick review.
Tested with my home speaker system, old sony speakers, good but not anything anyone would know. + My K7XX's. Pairs beautiful with real speakers, as the sound reconates much more with your body, comapred to any other combination I've tried. Makes you feel the music, and it feels good. Vibrations/Rumblings. Currently testing with HD600's.
Positives
R2R dac's changed my view of how music should sound, this feels and sounds much more natural to me, I found a new love!
Simple clean substantial design.
Volume knob.
Revealing with good recordings.
Resparked my love for music. It feels different, more organic. Like when I was a kid, I thought this was just being a kid. But this "old-school" sound is alot more pleasing to me. Would love to try great vinyl playback, but it's a big hazzle.
Negatives
The gain is not very good. Changes the sound too much, and introduces "artifacts".
Some weird sound when at the start and end of some type of playbacks of sound. Not that big of deal when you compare the lush sound you get. Probably some driver compatability issue, since R2R dac's are not the norm.
Bad recordings will sound bad. Have too much background noise.
Revealing towards bad recordings.
