how good are the non os dacs?

had the epiphanous vinyl experience and realize that i would like to bring my digital closer to the vinyl qualities i.e. smoother with more natural tones but retaining good resolution. i have my eye on the non os dac by promitheusaudio.com. small company but the opinions thus far are great. could a few of you digital experts comment on how good non os really sounds? love to hear recommendations from those of you that have listened to them in comparison. thanks

"Addition By Subtraction"; this is the best description about NOS DACs I can provide.

It is due to the fact that NOS DACs 20KHz sine wave looks like a ladder. This means that the top extension is smeared, resulting in lusher presentation. So many audiophile like this, so it is not necessarily a bad thing.

I'd vote for OS though. :-)

My NOS DAC excels in hf detail, including spatial clues.
