I got this a few months ago in a deal along with the hifiman he-400i. I really love it, first experience with a DAC and I was really pleasantly surprised, and it has served me well. That package was also been my gateway drug as I have since gotten the fostex thx00, and (am waiting on the shipping for my) ifi micro idsd bl, and this hobby has quickly put holes in my pocket. This DAC gave me a glimpse of what I was missing, but was only the first step, kind of put me on the mission to see what else is out there. Great little portable piece, good price.
iSalehArtI think it's a really great place to start. You'll definitely notice a difference and if/when you upgrade to a desktop setup, you can always use this as a portable piece. That's my plan now that my ifi idsd micro black label came in, which I absolutely love.
