Amazing device! Really unique feeling in terms of inputs, tech specs, functionality (like use as DAP, a AMP or use it as DAC/AMP) and great with attenuator switch.

Seems rather straight forward to me. DAP with dig and analog inputs, versatility for multiple uses. Looks great other than size but it doesn't look harder to carry around or use than a 901,Calyx etc. If you use it one way the options get chosen once and if you use it multiple ways, you;re happy to have options. Still too bog for me. A lot of these portable pro devices and recorders don't sound bad at all but at that size, is it better than a 901 or ak100 plus centrance glove?
