Now that it's available, has anyone tried this out? I'm curious to know how it compares with other amp/dac combos around the same price. Is it really an audiophile product? I have the Essence STX, but I've been thinking about getting a HE-500, and I'll need to upgrade to a proper usb dac, is this one worth getting?
 
What else should I consider in the same price range?
