Is this DAC good ?

I have owned a DA-10 with Untra Analog card for severy years and find it to outperform many DACs twice its price. It is very smooth yet detailed and very musical. Michael Elliot founder of Counterpoint does services all Counterpoint equipment.
Just found a brand-new-in-box DA-10 with the standard AD card (not the Ultra Analog) right here on Audiogon a couple of weeks ago and like Alruhl am awaiting Mike Elliott's Rapture 24/96 upgrade (a user plug-in). I also have an Elliott-modified Counterpoint preamp and amp. Very solid gear throughout. Its upgradability and repair service availability (I haven't had to use it, and my electronics run 24/7) through Elliott's AltaVista Audio is a major plus.
