snow48 cheap gigawork "clones" - anybody tried?

[Galgo]

Hi,
I found this seller on eBay who sells many interesting boards for very low prices - it also states they are identical to "gigawork" - i.e.:
HiEnd 24/192 DAC DA CONVERTER DIR9001+CS8421+CS4398 USB

Other of his listings are even more attractive.
Did anyone tried one of his products?
Are the legit/genuine components?

I have one of the earlier versions. Many people have bought his boards. He has been selling those for a long time. They are the same as gigawork. No difference.

Apparently you are right - this is the reply from the seller:

"
we designed and produced the dac board.

GIGAWORK wholesaled the board from us
"

Interesting...

Any recommended (budget friendly" model to get decent sound through SPDIF from a PC and perhaps add an optional TUBE buffer?
