Grant Fidelity Tube DAC-11
NOTE: I realize I am posting this in a head-fi forum, though I am providing very limited information about the headphone output in the following review of the Tube DAC-11. From the little listening I was able to do on headphones (decidedly budget Sennheiser HD203s at that), the sound...- Demerara
