all filtering is done in the analogue domain where it is easier to retain good, wide band phase-frequency and dynamically coherent behaviour

Presumably the 'extremely unique feature' here is simply the use of an EF800 valve in this application. AMR beat AN to it it seems as the now-fairly-long-in-the-tooth DP-777 also had a valve to buffer the S/PDIF signal :

What advantage is that supposed to bring?

I fully appreciate that I'm opening myself up to pile-on ridicule here, but I'm almost certainly the only person in this conversation who's actually heard this DAC, and if I had the money I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I don't care what it sounds like. Or how it measures. Anything good resulting from such a design is a happy accident. My money goes to designs based on competent engineering, not superstition and dumb luck.
