If the Eastern Electric comes close to the performance of the Neko Audio D100, I must say we have a real winner on our hands!
The EE DAC playing out of my SB Touch - getting signal via wifi from MacBook Pro, Apple Lossless - so far is in the same league as my Cary 308T. It has a slightly different mix of attributes and I'd probably say the Cary leads by a small margin to ME because I value coherence over detail and sound-staging. EE Dac sounds very natural. BTW i'm using tube output stage exclusively. I tried the SS output stage for around 90 seconds. SS output is very slightly less veiled and very slightly more mechanical.

Caution: EE DAC does seem very cable-sensitive.
Thanks Artmaltman, I look forward to reading your comments as you put some more 'break-in' hours to your EE Dac.
I got so into it that I posted a review on 'gon.

Thanks Art! Keep posting until break in is over. Posted a question on the review. Where shall we keep posting, here or there?
