I searched around a bit and cannot seem to find much about this DAC. It seems to be built with nicer components than the Muse Minis, but there really isn't a lot of info around.
Here's a listing for it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMSL-SD-793-Mini-DAC-DIR9001-PCM1793-OPA2134-Decoder-Optical-Coaxial-RCA-/320823851654
It does look nice and from the little bit I have been able to find, it seems well built.
There's also another model, one step up with USB:

Both seem to use WIMA and Nichicon Muse caps, as well as low ESR caps outside the signal path, which is promising, but I know little about DAC implementation.
There is one thread with some impressions, but few comparisons and not too much info.
I'm really thinking of going for this, but I really don't have anything to compare it to, aside from my grubDAC.
