Alright I must say after a couple of days with it I am impressed. One it has a much better headphone amplifier than my Marantz HD-Dac1. It is a much better DAC than my HD-DAC1. I can hear clear differences between them. I do not think this has anything to with effort though. I think this is all about D40 Pro just being cleaner with a lower noise floor and not trying to provide any color. I have to agree with @amirm I am not sure how anyone can misconstrue this as clinical. All it does is its job of converting digital to analog with as little noise and distortion as possible while not trying to provide color. Thank you for the review and recommendation as I was looking at a couple of more expensive and similar DACs when I ran across this review and decided to go with it. You saved me a couple of hundred dollars off the other DACs I was looking at. This more than met my needs and what I was doing with the Marantz while giving me additional functionality with Bluetooth and a upgrade to my headphone amp. That is hard to beat.
