Any thoughts on the new Schiit Buf tube buffer ($99)?

I have no real interest in a tube buffer but, for $99, it might be fun to play with on a secondary system.

Over here, CD's are for everyday listening/background. The thing is quite tubey sounding, takes the SS "edge" off the digital rig. I approve.
