As a *pocket* DAC/amp, I'm not sure how much I like it given the awkward connection required, a shorter cable would probably serve it better.

As a *portable* DAC/amp though, I like it very much. It's small enough to bring to the office and fit in your work laptop without crowding your desk, while doing a respectable job of driving whatever you plug into it. Ditto for home desk, I used this is As a desktop DAC for a couple weeks to go into my amp until I could settle on a dedicated desk sized unit.

Also works great as a DAC/amp for a car stereo, where the longer adapter cable included within the box is actually desirable. I tried it for a week during my commute and it gave my humble OEM stereo that sweet, sweet resolution it simply would not have plugged directly into the auxiliary port.
