Interesting, like my Zuperdac-S so also keeping an eye out.
Sorry complete audio noob here, just curious how the automatic output will work, it will just automatically adjust when something is plugged in? Seems like might be still difficult to drive some <150 ohms headphones with only 1V.Automatic output level based on headphone impedance (1V for <150 ohms, 2V for >= 150 ohms)

I ordered the MQA version. I'm happy with my Zuperdac-S but my new phone has USB-C only and I prefer a cable that is mounted to the DAC instead of using a separate cable as I'm using now. I also use the Zuperdac-S on my computer at work. I don't care about MQA, but the chip used in the MQA seems to have better specs.
190 backers already, looks as if the vast majority go for the MQA version.

I've gone for the MQA given the cost difference isn't really that much. Hopefully it'll work well with my new OP7T.

DSD support piqued my interest, no use for MQA for me. Anybody know if it's DoP or D2P?
Haven't pulled the trigger, tho
I wonder how warm this thing gets while handling DSD or DXD...
