You can find the same DAC in Chinese smartphone or a Topping DAC at half the price. At least this thing has an amplifier so it isn't completely useless. Sweet balanced RCA inputs though.

The $100 gets you the balanced outputs, mqa decoding, case, and amp. The original tone board that got popular in 2018 (I have one) was/is $99 and has the same DAC chip.

I'll be considering the upgrade to connect it to my THX AAA 789 amp's balanced input.
