Audio Aero Prima Dac

Can anyone comment on the performance of this Dac and, if it will provide most of the benefits of the Capitol player?\
Is it really special??

Show Conference Room 3 and was quite impressed. To my ears, it provided a more balanced and musical sound than the Goldmund player with its built-in DAC.
