Chinese DACs

I just bought a DAC from a guy, who modded it, for 60 bucks and it sounds better than my newer NAD CD player.
I wish I knew which model I had. The guy who modded it said if you are buying a DAC for more than 150 bucks or more than two years old you are getting ripped off. Anybody else have good luck with Chinese DACs? Any you could recommend?

ozzy62, My Orchid uses the 1541 chip, I believe. I didn't search the Pagoda yet. Do you know which one is in it? 
I can't wait to experiment with different tubes. I hear good things about the WE 396a D getter. I think that's the one.

I recently acquired the MHDT Orchid and it’s wonderful. I got it on the used market but I think it’s $1,150 new.
I’m very, very happy with it.
