I bought one of these earlier this year on Amazon. It's great, and compliments my ATH-M50x's/speaker's perfectly[headphone out on the front, analogue pass-through on the back, with optical in]. The only issue I have is it's compatibility with certain encoding standards, like DTS or Dolby. Which is an issue if you have video/audio encoded with AC3. There is a way to mix it down to 2-channel, but this depends on your setup, and software.
Once you're aware [and you accept it as a limitation] that this can't do multi-channel audio though, you'll have a great experience with it. The texture is solid, with the volume knob having a really nice smooth feel, and the audio is incredibly crisp even at high volumes. I only ever turn it 1/4 up with the headphones on, but if I'm just listening to music at night, I can turn it 1/2 way and still clearly hear what's going on with the headphones an arm's-length away
