I put this DAC into service this week for my desktop system. Too early for a detailed review. However, it does seem to provide an impressive soundstage, great flexibility, and fine detail. I confess I don't always detect differences among DACs, though some sound "grainy" to me. This one does not suffer from that characteristic and so far, I like it very much. Associated gear: Schiit Loki Mini, Rogue Perseus preamp. QSC QX3 power amp, Elac Carina 243.4 speakers with Dayton 8 inch active sub. BTW - here is a review of the Carina speakers. Audioscience (Amir) is right. Good speakers but need power. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/elac-carina-bs243-4-review-bookshelf-speaker.34398/
Many outstanding and reasonably priced DACs out there these days. Glad you found one that suits your taste.

I also have an SMSL D6S in our large system, a couple of SMSL Sanskrit's, and Schiit Modi (for use in guest room with TV, a little Class D amp, and a pair of Vanguard Scout speakers. Abe, you're right. Lot's of good choices available.
The Topping, which I use for near-field (desktop) listening, provides superb spatial quality.
