Desktop swiss army knife

This product has become the most listened to device in my home. I am at my desk all day and it allows me to easily switch between headphones (Meze Liric) and desktop speakers. It has a very clean and honest DAC presentation, bringing out a ton of details while managing to still sound decent with lower quality recordings. The new headphone amp is a beast and with the major power upgrades is has me thinking about some more hard to drive headphones. The Lossless Bluetooth is a great feature to have but for the most part I am driving high rez files from my PC via USB. This unit combined with an IfI USB iDefender is giving me great performance and no noticeable USB jitter
