The color display is cool and the menu system is easy enough to navigate with the remote.
Competitiveness
I run a schiit audio freya preamp into a bel canto s300 amplifier using balanced connections.
But that is easy to overlook for what is one of the best dacs on the market right now for the price.
For that ultra high-end audio itch, the age-old 24bit/88khz tech still suits me just fine.
Basically an su-9 with mqa removed for cheaper.

It lacks power severely via its rca inputs

And while balanced input is louder it ultimately is not a very powerful amplifier

Its specs are almost certainly an outright lie

I dont like to describe dacs as being warm as its a poor term for digital to analog conversion but this dac is neither overly shrill or lacking in detail
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This dac definitely likes electronic music a lot but is no slouch with traditional forms of music either
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This dac really shines in highly dynamic and suddenly silent passages its outright exciting when it gets dead quiet
