I've always wanted one of these and upgrade from my PHA-1. Quick question... This, this doesn't have optical does it?

Unfortunately not. Much to my surprise when I first got it, it doesn't even have analog in. It's purely a USB DAC.

Whoa, that is weird. I know the latest version does.. But it is in line with other Sony offerings till recently.

My first Astell and Kern player came in yesterday. My ears got blown away by the quality... So nice to get kick-ass quality over Bluetooth with such a cute and small device!

This is the tale of three DAP's so enjoy!

These days I can get out of bed put some wireless HPs on, and a 'playlist' - and with just the volume control and the occasional lift of an earpiece **to actually pay attention to someone/thing, I don't have to stop listening, I can have background music of my choice and tonality all day and or bump stuffs louder if I'm trying to drown out some noise near me .....

long battery life easily portable great quality sound, digital, and the absence of wires for ($50 per device *used) are LIFE changers for those of us that grew up with portable cassette decks and AA batteries :D
