If this stays at $99, I will be absolutely impressed. What a great deal.

I asked Jason about this and he told me to set the volume to max when used as a line out.

Thats exactly what I thought. A passive volume control is at zero gain at full volume. Its just like a volume attenuator (like you get with many headphones on their cables), not an active preamp volume control.
Maybe Larry didn't set his to full volume so that he could get matching outputs with other dacs he was comparing with like the pico. After all, at full volume the udac will sound louder than most other usb powered dacs because of its 2 volt output.

I wish we had some insight into the dac... I'm trying to decide between the uDAC and the Styleaudio Emerald or ibasso D2+ and cannot figure out if, for half the price, the uDAC is really gonna be up there with the other two (particularly the Emerald with its upsampling dac). Anyone have any insight?
Is the price too good to be true or just too good?!

if donunus is correct, the dac that is in it is in equipment that is 4 times the price. So snatch it while you can

If it can do 55-65% the performance of my B32s, then it's a steal.
