Yup I've gotten it today, gonna go give it a run once I get home. Thanks for all the replies
Does the Dacport short out/looses signal when there is not enough USB power?
When Dacport is connected to my Macbook Pro (running on battery and not ac power), and I turn up the volume, there is zap sound and my itunes turn off because Dacport looses signal. Is this a common problem?
It seems like I need a USB powered Hub to give the Dacport enough juice.
I haven't seen that problem. Try plugging the DACport into either the left USB or Rear USB port, depending on what year model MacBook Pro you have. I've read that those have more power because they don't share power with the keyboard.
Have you had any problems with this?
Ok, I reported that when there's not enough power coming from my Macbook, and when I turn up the volume, the Dacport will make a "zap" sound and cut off/out.
But also when I plug the Dacport to my iMac without turning the volume down with headphone plugged in, it will also make a "zap" sound.
Is this normal? I guess I should remember to turn down the volume or at least not have the headphone plugged in but anyone else have these problems?
Should I be concerned? I got it used here.

Picked up the DACport LX. Listening to it directly without an amp. Definitely losses some punch without the amp section, but it's quite a bit more transparent than the original DACport.
With the IEMs, I found the DACport LX to be really spectacular - just as transparent as with the LCD-2, but nowhere near as bright as with the full size phones, where the lack of power fails to push the bass frequencies as well as the mids and highs. The biggest nuisance with using the DACport LX without an amp is keeping the volume way down, via the software that's running on your laptop or PC.
