I have built my first DIY DAC then bought V6 classic but I burnt it for my mistake.
Carlos from SSaudio offered me a free replacement for reviewing.Thanks a lot!
I have to say that I have not much experience for engineering or audio DIY and no measurement so it's just my opinion.
Also listening room is small and listened with low volume.
I have OP07,LME49710,AD797,MJM5534D
My favourite was AD797 so I have compared with Ad797 and V6 classic.
Equipment
Speaker: SB acoustic satori 2way (Xover designed by joachim Gerhard)

Amplifier:Babelfish M25 r.2
DAC:Nos ad1862 DAC designed by miro1360 through JLsound I2SoverUSB
Music

First impression is V6 classic have wider sound stage but thinner or transparent.AD797 have less wider sound stage but more punch in bottom.
Difference in vocalharmony,AD797:2 people is singing at different place. V6 classic:harmony could hear transparent.
When I listened strings,I noticed V6 have much better expression.

Bansuri sounds much more detail and beautiful with V6. Also tanpura sounds better.
This is amazing, I have never enjoyed listening bansuri with audio equipment before.

Vivraphone sounds more 3D with V6.
Baya sounds more 3D like with V6.
When sound is clowded,AD797 sounds like more detailed.
Bongos sounds better with AD797,Also feels more rhythmic with AD797.

This track was recorded at night outside. From sound of insects,I feel like I am standing there with V6.
Mixed chorus,Ad797 sounds more detailed but not sure which sounds beautiful.
Percussion sound is similer results with previous track.Ad797 has more punch in sound.
conclusion
I like V6 classic pretty much especially for simpler acoustic music.
It is expensive but now for me,It was worth to buy.

IMHO V6 is not up to much at all.
I'm sure there's previous content on this very forum where the V6 was measured and found to be much noisier than a std IC OpAmp, with added even order harmonics to make it sound valve like
Staccato J-FET design renders it irrelevant
