well, I actually got it a week or two ago, but haven't had the chance to post about it until now.
the build quality is very nice, with the panels being 2mm for the sides and top, and the front panel's 5mm thick. I've seen much much thinner material used in more expensive products, and it's nice to see C.E.C. taking the extra step to make the dac have a solid feel.
the sound is quite warm and IMO has a nice low end. not something I would call neutral or for studio use (where a Benchmark DAC1 or Grace Design DAC would fit in), but then it's built for home use and this voicing seems appropriate for the general home audience, especially it's main market in Japan.
it's not too common on Head-Fi with I think only two others owning it, but I think it's a nice product for it's price. I'll post some pictures later and more comments perhaps...
