It sounds a lot like the Burl B2 Bomber DAC but with a bit less saturation. Really having a hard time describing the sound of it, it seems agnostic about the presentation of transients across the FR. Just very clear and even-handed.
Sounds a lot worse via USB, bluetooth recommended. Lots of juice too, seems to do an ok job with my HE4 which is really saying something. Runs on AKM4493, no idea what else is going on under the hood. No use for all the extra features, just running it straight bluetooth -> 4-pin out
It's a bit smaller than it looks, width and height are less than most modern smartphones, it's just thick. Yep I'm just using bluetooth in, all extraneous settings turned off, and 4-pin XLR output
I'll YMMV all of my comments given I'm using a low-impedance highly efficient headphone with very little resonance play in the design. Not sure how it will jive with 'wetter' headphones, high impedance headphones, more niche power requirements, IEMs, etc.
