If you just want to build something then go ahead, but I doubt it will be better than your X Dac. The NOS stuff is almost a cult obsession, and the 4x oversampling is what was used 20 yrs ago. It is easy to work on, but not even close to the performance level of modern dac circuits.

Just an opinion, everyone has one.
