Thanks muchly. I'm looking at this one as a replacement for my E17, though it also lacks the analogue volume controls the E17 is missing.
Have you heard the Audioengine D1? Is the rpac's sound quality considerably better?

You're welcome Deviltooth :). I haven't tried the D1 but I know a guy who has (Dalethorn), he seems to really like it over the E17. I feel similarly about the rPAC against the E17 but neither of us have tried all 3 so I could only speculate.
Do you need the DAC/amp to be portable, do you mind if it runs off of mains power? If so you could go for the Yulong U100, I really liked that one, and the warmer sounding Epiphany Acoustics EHP-O2D. But if it's portability you want I was just looking at the new Matrix one, a bit more expensive but also runs from batteries like the Fiio.

Nice review. Also, the o2 dac is powered by usb. The amp section is powered by the walwart. So if you get just dac, there is no walwart. Cheers
