I've heard it and think it is definitely something to keep in mind if you want a unit that can still allow you to play CDs while giving you multiple options to stream music from a computer, including what I consider the best which is Ethernet via router. The sound quality is excellent and a good step above the well regarded Opus 21 (which I own). If you have a single source system the built in analog volume control is excellent so you can eliminate a preamp in the process.
I've listened to quite a few of the USB SPDIF converters and while they have come a long way, none surpassed the Cantata. In addition I listened to both Steve Nugent's set-up and the Cantata at RMAF and preferred the Cantata.
