I'm still loving my NAD d1050 > Elise by Feliks Audio > Beyer T1 / HE560 / HD650. This DAC has served me well. It's been more than 4 months now.
Who can compare in sound: NAD 1050 and NAD 51 ?
I have both the D1050 and the M51. I love them both but only after I upgraded the power supply on the D1050. I have one at the office and one at home so it's difficult to compare side by side but I would say that the D1050 was slightly warmer and the M51 slightly more resolving but both make for a very enjoyable listening experience.
The power supply I upgraded to was an S-Booster BOTW which is quite expensive and big but made a huge difference. The way I looked at it was that as I already had the D1050 I got an upgraded DAC for £250, which isn't bad at all.
If it's a choice between the two and you have the money then I would go M51 every time.
