Overall, I think this is a bit of an upgrade in sound from my NuForce Icon uDAC-2, which seemed to have a bad pot or something on the volume, and would need to be reset on occasion because it'd just stop working. Also, the uDAC seemed to have bad left/right balance issues sometimes. It is still working fine, but, for the price, I kind of wish I had bought something with more driving power and specifically meant to sit on a desk, as I use this on the desktop at work. Cons:
  • Volume control. It is nearly impossible to use without moving the amp all over the desk. I never know which way is volume up or down because of poor labeling.
  • Jack: The headphone jack and usb jack don't seem to be mounted quite right - the USB cord angles up. The headphone adapter sort of angles up and to the right as well.
  • Occasionally needs to be unplugged, or gets weird artifacts. I'm not sure what this is about.
  • Seems alright enough at driving my Audiotechnica ATH-M40fs headphones, but I doubt it could drive anything much more demanding.

SagaciousBYou might have gotten a bad unit. Mines drives the Sennheiser HD 660 s and the HD 650s just fine. I also haven't had any of the issues you described.
