Would be nice to see this reviewed, from what I can see the G6 still seem like the better dac though. I do like how this looks, less gamer and just an overall more subtle aesthetic. Worth buying?

Worth buying?

I think it's too early to say. I plan on picking one up once Amazon starts carrying them but if it turns out to be as quirky as the G6 it'll go back.

Looks alright for the price, the DAC is specified to have a SINAD of 108 dB and a dynamic range of 115 dB but not much else is given. The amp seems to be a bit weak though, it only produces 35 mW into 150 Ω in high gain.
