Anyone familiar with Scott Nixon tube dac?

Has anyone purchased (or at least heard) the small tube dac from Scott Nixon? Seems like two versions are available -- $350 and $450. I most curious if anyone has compared the Nixon tube dac to more mainstream tube dacs such as CAL Alpha or Kora Hermes.

Several other sites have had quite a bit of discussion about them, but I would trust it more if I heard it from Audiogon members.

Product info is at: http://www.scott-nixon.com/dac.htm

Of all info that I have read it's first rate.As another metioned you must be careful to match it with your equiptment.

I have a smART DIO DAC which I had to leave the output resistor values at 7v because I use a Passive pre-amp.

There is info at AudioCircle.com and SN will answer questions.

Would like someone to create a list of all these affordable DACs.The list is getting quite long.

MSB
CI
Camelot
ART
SN
Bel Canto

All are affordable and all should be listed with what their strengths weaknesses and compatibility issues are.I like the ART and will not change .It is a versatile little unit.

Good Luck!
