Hello Rony,
No, I've never heard a DB Systems-modified AirPort Express.
You might start by buying AirPort Express from Apple (89€); this should give you some insight... If you sense it has further potential, then (since you are in France) you could contact DB Systems and arrange a demo, either at their place, or possibly at the home of a satisfied customer who lives closer to you.
It is worth noting that without advertising of any kind, DB Systems has acquired quite a good reputation within French audio circles (and now that I think of it, a couple years ago I sold a pair of Verity Audio speakers to a guy who was eying a DB Systems modified AirPort Express).
Looking at the website, apart from apparent good taste, one can infer certain things :
Assembly of components appears to be first class and old school.
However, I'm not sure I trust the dudes ear; there's too much DSP-corrected compromise and digital filtering involved in his system (When spending that sort of cash, why resort to DSP? Especially with all that space?)
If you do go for a demo or end up buying one of their modded units, I'd be interested in knowing your opinion.
