I have this small DAC and it really sound very very good! Of course I have heard better sounding DAC's but they were in price range 2x 3x more than Hegel. Good value for money! BUT everyone have to understand that to pump this DAC at its fullest you will need good usb cable (I use FURUTECH GT2) and interconnect analog cables too (CARDAS and only CARDAS for me!). Wish the best for HEGEL!

I just ordered this thing, can't wait to hear it. Jitter is measureable and is quite low compared to other dacs in one Norwegian hifi magazine review. I think the reason for this is the lack of opamps and external power supply.
