Audio synthesis dax 1994

Good morning
i would like to know of any opinions from owners of this dac , i am able to purchase one second hand but unable to audition as it is located in another state, i have a very limited budget but was led to believe it was a very expensive dac in its day, i know its quite old but have heard mid 90s dacs before that sound very good. Any opinions. i have a audio synthesis passion pre amp thats very nice so what about the dax?
Thanks.

Have used one since I built it in kit form in 1994. Recently went through and replaced a lot of the power supply caps and rectifier diodes.
Still sounds good to my ears.
Mine has the Ultra-Analog 20400a dac but the dax was also availlable as a cheaper version with Burr-Brown chips(pcm63 I think).
More to discover
