I actually like the DAC40 card quite a bit. A friend who likes classical music even preferred the DAC40 to several times more expensive DACs.

Overall I would say it is certainly at the level of 1-2k DACs. Some other DACs I have or owned previously

Accuphase DC37
Wavelength Cosecant Silver
OPPO 105D
Cyrus DAC8
Weiss DAC2
Benchmark DAC1

Some others I listened to in relative comparison to some of the above
Auralic Vega
MSB analog
Peachtree DAC

My preference out of all DACs is the DC37 and the Wavelength. The DAC40 card is still very enjoyable, especially on classical.
