Easy to set up, and sounds phenomenal with my HD6XX's and Fostex Ebony TR-X00's. It can power more power-hungry headphones, if you need it.
Form factor is tiny - They weren't kidding when they said it was as big as a lighter. The volume control is nice, though it can get a little sensitive with high gain turned on (be really careful with this setting!). It also runs warm. I can't speak to running this thing with my phone, but on a desktop setup, I was blown away. I can't wait to try it out while on the go one of these days.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that if you're using this with Windows, you'll need to download a driver from CEntrance's site. Mac works right out of the box: Just plug it in with the included micro USB cable. and you're good to go.
I did eventually figure out a way to use this thing with my iPhone after having contacted CEntrance (they respond quickly, if you have any questions). Turns out you will need some extra things to get this to work with an iPhone 8 Plus:
I have to use the Apple Camera Connection kit. It has a Lightning input and USB-A input. I connect a battery pack to the Lightning input, and connect the USB-A input to the DACPort HD using a micro usb to USB-A cable. Then I connect the CCK to the phone. CEntrance told me that the iPhone must be plugged into a power source for the DACPort HD to work with it. It's messy, but it works if you're looking to use the DACPort HD on the go with a newer iPhone. Also, you might have to plug the DACPort HD in a few times to get the phone to recognize it.

Kam182Yikes, you need all the mess just to get it work on iPhone? Hmmm the Dragonfly looks better if that's the case.
