I really like the look of this Yamaha Headphone/DAC, not just a black box. The price is nuts but hopefully the budget version of this will eventually trickle down and attract a more wider appeal from the consumer.

Interestingly though, it uses the same DAC ESS Technology’s top-tier ES9038PRO 32-bit, 8-channel DAC chip as my Eversolo Z8, my unit has headphone socket (though, I am using the SingXer head amp) and, at 1/6th of the costs!
