Smooth and enjoyable
Even compared to more expensive DACs like the Modi Mulitbit 2 this little guy more than holds its own. Much smoother and cohesive top to bottom than MMB2 this DAC is an amazing bargain. YMMV, but I think this slaughters anything Schiit has to offer in this price point.

Great, at first, died shortly after warranty expiration
I enjoyed the improved audio quality of my computer in both Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, this device died ~14 months after purchase. I can't recommend something that only lasts a little over a year. Time to research something new, and hopefully more durable.
