Basically what it says on the tin can.
I am not very satisfied with Qudelix (it is really annoyingly glitchy) and am looking for a beefier, more stable replacement with TOSLINK (because interfacing via USB with linux has a lot of unpleasant hairs like pulseaudio clicks which I only mostly sorta defeated)
Flex seems to fit the bill https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/minidsp-flex-review-audio-dsp.30804/
questions:
1) is there anything I should mind when trying to use this as balanced headphone amp (other than finding necessary cable adapters)? Like it would seem 4v RMS is 4v RMS?
2) is there any practical relevance of output impedance, particularly for driving low impedance headphones like Aeon RT Closed ?
3) should I be at all concerned about its IMD or like, "it's okay enough" ?
