I have one on order. I also have an LKS MH DA004 and I think it’s a really great DAC, easily approaching and often surpassing a pretty good analog system. I have much duplicate digital and lp music.
The designer seems to have taken the basics of a double ESS chip based discrete analog stage DAC, substantially pushed up the power supply and redesigned the circuits using very high level components. For the power supply that includes silver plated transformer windings and an AC line isolation circuit. He has also loaded the circuits with some of the best components the high end has to offer including high end diodes and capacitors, silver wiring and very important upgrades to circuit clocks..
No PR but lots of pictures and technical details are at http://www.mu-sound.com/DA005-detail.html
Perhaps @SNS will chime in here with a long term evaluation.
