No, but they look cool as heck. Now that PT can be run with anything, maybe a UFO with tube will be the ticket...

They should offer custom paint schemes.

Those do look cool, unfortunately...

"Kits are no more. After 8 years of kits, the demand is too low for me to deal with. Guess the flood/glut of cheap low end (cost and sonics) on ebay makes the correspondence support for my kits prohibitive. However you can buy any of my dacs as assembled tested pcbs. Complete ready to put into a chassis. Subtract $100 for any of the tube buffered versions and $75 for any of the solid-state dacs. "
I like to build the stuff that I record with.

Precisely why I would want one.

Imagine the talent looking at that UFO looking thing...

"Teh" psychological implications are staggering.

Voodoo boxes always have a place in what we do.

i am willing to bet that an emu 1212m would sound just as good or even better...and it's only $150.
