New Amp/DAC, pairs wonderfully with my DT 990 LE's.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Given it's price and feature set it is very appealing. I just sold my Teac UD-501. It is A super hi quality piece loaded w/features but I just found it too veiled for my taste. Likely related to the amp section.It's a darker and more musical sounding unit but detailed with good imaging and dynamics. The bass is a bit on the bombastic side yet controlled and the mids are present and a touch forward. Treble is on the relaxed side but well extended, on there seems to be a touch of harshness though in the treble on lower ohm headphones but not really on higher ohm headphones. But this is likely because it built-in amp puts more power into higher ohm headphones. This thing pairs unusually well with Beyers though, at least 250 ohms and up, not sure about lower impedances. If you like Beyers, I would definitely look into this unit. Definitely a good DAC, and worth getting as a DAC alone especially if you get it around $300. I don't know how it sounds as a speaker amp though as I don't have any bookshelf speakers to try on it.

Headphone less for the time being but a new sub is in.

Very clean! Everybody seems to love those LS50s.
My Head-fi station is so valuable that it is under constant guard...
