Amazing little DAC! Now imagine if they had a Mono mod for driving Balanced loads.
This Way we would hypothetically end up with 5V rms and ~124dB SINAD (for 22€) (per channel)
Now also Add the cost Galvanic isolation like Adum4166 Adum3166 USB 2.0 Isolator 480Mbps ~30€
And you would have an Isolated USB to XLR Dongle with SOTA Performance for ~60€
(of causes there are more problems like synchronization of 2 usb audio devices and so on.)
but just to show how obsolete most of the desktop class DACs are
