The GO 450 will work well with many headphones, except the really power hungry ones. I have seen some people are using it with the HD600 & 650, it just depends on how much 'oomph' you want with the output.
It is a USB 2.0 device, but I have not heard of any issues using it with USB 3.0 ports so far.
Only Windows requires drivers, OS X and Linux are plug and play.

JBR1971Thank you for clarifying that, JBR1971! Now I start to wonder if there's anything wrong about the 47 Ohm output on the description page. In the specs section, the 47 Ohm output wasn't mentioned at all. Does it mean that the output impedances are the same for both? I can't find anything about the 47 Ohm output on the product page either. http://marketplace.lhlabs.com/products/geek-out-450-usb-dac-and-headphone-amplifier

dropsOne output is 47 Ohms, the other is 0.47 ohms. The 47 Ohm output is designed for higher impedance and/or lower sensitivity phones and for use as an audio out with external amplifiers.
I've had one of these for a little under a year. It's by far and away the best small/portable DAC I've used. (I've had the iFi Nano, Schiit Fulla, Dacport LX, Audioengine D3, the First Gen Audioquest Dragonfly, and various FiiO products.) The built in amplifier is serviceable, and can run HD6XX phones well. I pair it with a Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII, which has a better amp section than a DAC section.
