These days multibit is very trendy, back 10 years ago similarly NOS DACS became the flavor of the month and tons of people on headfi were going on and on about how "natural and musical" NOS DACS were.
I bought into the hype and picked an MHDT Paradisea+ Tube DAC, it was $650 dollars, to this day the single most expensive audio purchase I have made. You can read a review here:

Sadly the thing sounded absolutely horrible. The worst sounding piece of gear I have owned. My then flagship X-FI Elite Pro completely trounced it in every way possible. I had a non-audiophile friend check it out. With no prompting from me she said "it sounds like there are parts of the song missing, its weird".
I quickly put it on head-fi and sold it for $600 so I was only out $50 and some of my time. Thankfully my Modi Multibit sounds a lot better but I would love to see the numbers from another MHDT DAC or any other NOS dac especially with a tube. You can see their website here:
