I think this device is fantastic. Especially as say a digital only preamp..streamer/TV/CD player. HDMI measurements are great.
The touch screen & pretty cool looking phone app. Various screen displays (VU Meters!) You could run 2 subs & a balanced power amplifier. Plus a balanced headphone unit. Oh & the most important thing..PEQ. I would like to know if there is filter/cutoff for mains/subwoofers. That would be magnificent.
I see that people are unhappy about the price but it's about what a new RME ADI-2 FS goes for these days. I still own one & feel it's an outstanding device. But it doesn't have HDMI, separate sub outputs, touchscreen, balanced headphone, phone app, analog input, or VU meters lol. RME has their cool volume control & loudness features though.
I personally like the aesthetics. As much as I enjoy the RME I would love to try this device out..as a TV/Streamer preamp with PEQ. I need to see if it has a HP filter for mains/subs.
I think the device is cool & has a lot to offer for being a DAC. Smart Dac. Lots of bells & whistles that can be taken advantage of it you need or want these things. Really diggin' the HDMI feature.
