I wished this had analog input too. Would be perfect for work if I wanted to use it as a usb dac from pc or switch to analog amp for another source. Still, very interested and nice to see the price point being so low!

How does this item SOUND????
Does it easily attach/combine with its similar looking "Blue" streamer?
Any reviews out yet?

It doesn't, they are totally separate

Yes, I see that now. Not enough coffee. I thought Blue was a Bluetooth transmitter, not a receiver.
Once again, sorry.

This would be a great piece of equipment for a new headphone user to enjoy Tidal HiFi & Masters. I have about $3500 in my computer headphone system, not counting headphones. If this DAC/amp sounds at least as good as some of the lower cost Schiit equipment, it would be a winner. I would even buy one for my iMac at my beach home.

@iFi audio Please make a smaller USB powered DAC with dual 3.5mm balanced outputs!
I think Sony PHA-3 is too expensive for that...

Who knows, who knows...

Oh very cool, two options for power. I dig.

Yup.

Give me 4-6 days, it's on its way.

Please tell us what you think once you have it!

Still, very interested and nice to see the price point being so low!

Thanks, we did our best. To have the product this affordable, we couldn't do everything.

Sounds like a perfect upgrade for my Fiio Q1, finally something portable and sleek
