As soon as I was ready to pull the trigger on the K7, they sold through their entire stock everywhere LOL great write up, brother.

@domq422 I pulled the trigger earlier since Dsnuts baited me haha. I don't regret it.
Other con is there's no balanced line in/out. I wonder if you get more hiss when connecting a DAC to the RCA-in instead of USB input?

@helloh3adfi lucky man, I couldn’t buy mine early on because of various circumstances unfortunately.
For me, the K7 is perfect for what I’m trying to do. Low cost, 4.4 balanced out, small footprint and USB in. Luckily, the balanced line in doesn’t bother me at all.

I am listening to your test track now, fun stuff. I like your review, great detail and photos!
