For schiits and giggles...
Too clinical sounding for my taste but drives it very well. Waiting for v2 and I'll probably pick up the powerdac which will probably be more align with my taste with the "tube" mode enabled.

Did you try it in tube mode ?

I have both - are you interested for full-size headphones or for IEM reasons?

Headphones first, and IEMs second. Looking for the simplest dac/amp all-in-1 to get a decent baseline sound out of Phantom planar/Monoprice 1060c...then hybrid IEMs second....Sony XBA-N1.
Am sick of separate DACs/Amps as I have to set up my gear in different spaces and just want something that hooks in by USB in 1 second and that is it..
Hence high hopes for this little device...seeing it was powering the big Phantom Planar no problem on one of the designer's videos..

Original Gen1 is 2.5mm. Gen2 is the updated version with IEM mode (lower gain) and then there is a 3038D is 3.5mm and it will be black :) though not ready yet afaik

Yah, it would be great if they explained the product breakdowns a little more clear.

Actually we should appreciate the price/performance of this little device which is unmatched.. I believe this device is made only by one guy with his wife, so you can't expect some marketing shizzle. And if you want to know more details about this device, you can on find it on asr or discord :)

Easier to name balanced E1DA 9038B and single-end E1DA 9038SE....but too late now.

Wonder how easy it is to get at the tiny amp chips, I had a guy successfully desolder those and replace them on another device.
Just too small for dip-8 sockets.

Exactly. It doesn't take much to have a clear indication in the model of the product. Or at the very least have a clear description in the listing... That doesn't take a marketing team... LoL
