Hi there, I got my EX5 2 days ago as my office desktop dac/amp (I also have an RME ADI DAC 2 FS) and after listening to it for about 6 hours now, I have to admit I'm not very happy with the headphone output stage of this device. It sounds flat and and lacks detail. To make sure that it's not the dac portion of the EX5 I connected it to my old LittleDot MK2, and that produces a much better result. I will return it because I wanted a combo
