I plugged this little guy in and used a pair of Sennheiser HD 600 Headphones. The sound was pretty impressive considering that it is only $250.00. It handled 88.2/24 and 96/24 with no issues. The sound is detailed without hardness. It is very easy to listen to. Naturally, I won't be selling my Crimson HS anytime soon.The next experiment will be to play it through my system once I purchase the mini adapter.
Congratulations to both Gordon and Audioquest for this excellent USB DAC.
