Doubling as a USB DAC for active speakers as well as an ultra-compact headphone amplifier, the 1.38 x 6.22 x 3.93-inch (HWD) unit features a balanced analog stage as well as switchable balanced and single-ended outputs for extended flexibility. Yet the connectivity pales in comparison to its sonic acumen, guided by a Burr-Brown chip, in-house-programmed XMOS chip, and True Native Architecture that reproduce high-res 24-bit/384kHz PCM, bit-perfect DSD up to DSD256, and MQA in resplendent fashion.

Review: not good sound - i used this product for hearing music from my pc. sound quality waas better when i was not using this. it sounds dull.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this the version 2 model?**
A: No. V2 has a MQA Decoder. This has a renderer. Makes no difference if you do the first unflold in software. MQA itself is not lossless and some argue that it introduces noice to the chain. Do your research.
