It is very hard to fault this DAC, voices really shine through, treble is detailed and silky smooth. Bass is nice and tight so it does not muddle the mid range/voices. It has a non-fatiguing, neutral (not cold), pleasing sound at a bargain price without having any noticeable coloration and it gets to the heart of the music without making a fuss. It is a very versatile product with USB, digital co-axial and optical inputs.
