I found the specs interesting and the original price is $169 but, when I saw it on ebay for $136, I jumped. Now I need someone to let me know if I screwed up or if I am unknowingly a genius. I've googled it and found nothing but where to buy it.

did it arrive yet? do you like it? Can't find impressions on this dac/amp.
No, not yet...Still waiting. Let me know if you find anything about it. I'll update you when I get it.
I recieved it yesterday. I am kinda new to the dac thing but I did have a Muse PCM2704 $24 dac before this one and wow, what a difference. The imaging and soundstage are incredible. For what the M6 costs, it's worth every penny. The headphone amp is very detailed.Plus the headphone input is a 1/4" so I doubt it will fail as quick as the 3.5mm jacks.

Any sound direction, analytical, cold, warm? Looks like an interesting cute DAC. Which HPs are you using?
I'm too new to the game to tell you about the sound of it. I can say that I love it. I'm using my Phillips SHP 9500s.
I forgot to tell you that I use it with an SMSL SA60 and Fluance SX6s mostly.

Thanks a lot. I was actually more interested in the headphone out part. Still trying to decide between M6 and M8, not sure if the price difference is justified.
I went for the M6 because of the Headphone amp...glad I did.

sounds like an interesting dac 

Just another plus for the M6...I finally tried a 600ohm set of AKG Sextetts on it to see how the headphone amp handled it and it can push them to earbleeding levels. I ******* love this thing!

Hello. I just bought this DAC. Im just curious if the volume knob only works with headphones or also with the RCAs.
I prefer having both control but I read a review that it only works with headphones.

It's just for your headphones
