Wow.... Rat's nest design that cost $1.5k...
Here is a hilarious translation (probably google):
http://modama.net/47lab/dac01_e.html
"Circumstance plug price being large amount, to open the wallet, it was something where courage is."
"The hot water of the potato it divides Shigaraki DAC, With, it seems that stops wanting to murmur absentmindedly with the dense eye"
"There is no 'leg' in we"
There is no "quality" in construction, either. Looks like a couple of pounds worth of off-the-shelf components, and probably a circuit design lifted straight out of the application notes from the manufacturer of the DAC chip.
Though maybe, just maybe, they were taking distant construction-technique inspiration from "dead bug" RF circuit prototyping -- e.g., http://www.opencircuits.com/Dead_bug_style -- and thought it would help with audio.
Doubtful, though. Mostly it looks like cheap hand-crafted bodgery.
