I just snagged one of these.

It is roughly the same price as the highly regarded Denafrips Ares 2 DAC. I own the Ares as well, so I will do some comparisons as the Draco burns in.
Initial impressions:
1) it is much heavier than the the Ares.
2) it already has a larger soundstage and greater resolution than the Ares.
3) it has that fantastic, musical R2R sound that I have come to love.
4) it has an I2S connector, which the Ares lacks. I can now get the full benefit of my SingXer SU-1 DDC - which all else equal is reason for me to keep the Draco instead of the Ares.
More to come...
