I have a Smart Dio, which is a level below the Mensa and I really like it. For the money, I can't say another DAC has sounded better in my system. The only way to say for sure is to try it versus other DAC's and stand-alone players on your system. Also, Wayne is a really good guy who stands by his products. I have called him several times with questions and he has always offered to have me ship my DIO back for a checkup.
Resale on DIO's is very good, so there is really no risk getting one. Also, get the power supply. It really takes the Dio to another level, along with Wayne's digital cable.
Good luck!
