Crossfeed is a wonderful thing. Without it, I really can't listen to music very long. It makes everything feel so natural.
I use the Aria with Winamp, mostly Ogg viles compressed to 499 kbps until I rip FLAC onto the new computer. No audible difference on the strong majority of recordings. It sounds excellent with DT 880's. Very smooth, and it brings out the brightness of them without harshness. In a word: tasty.
edit: I also prefer this amp/DAC with many live recordings I have. It separates the sound well. I can also notice the difference between straight amp and DAC right out of the box, before burn in.
