One other DA10 strength I think should be mentioned is its value it as a headamp. The headphone out in the front for single ended terminations (and lower impedance) and the back XLR for balanced (and higher impedance) both compete (in my opinion beats) several popular $600-800 amps around here. It's easily surpassable, but the fact that it took a MPX3 to soundly win, shows its strength IMO.
And Oliver it looks much better in combination with my black MacBook.
