It does work that way, but the signal is not the direct out of the internal DAC but rather goes through the output stage. So, it's like having a pre-amp in the chain that does require passing signal through a bit of extra electronics. Purists would have you got direct out from the DAC to the amp, but the Desktop with its integrated DAC won't let you do that.

Also, this is probably answered elsewhere BUT, where does the portable ultra DAC rank in line with the other DAC modules (better than home?)?
It's a Max DAC, the best we make. ONly falls short of what you'd hear in a Max due to the power supply. If you get a Desktop Power Supply you'd pretty much be at Max level.
