Just got a new DAC!
So far I've only used it with my cheap 2.0 desktop speakers. but it's making a noticeable difference - can't wait to get home and try it with my headphones.
One thing I found was that the PC was only outputting 44.1K sample rate even when playing music recorded at 96k. I fixed this (in Windows 7) by:
1) Go to Control Panel and select Sounds
2) On the playback tab find the entry that co-responds to your DAC - mine says Speakers - Headstreamer and select it then click properties
3) You can change the icon here for cosmetics - then select the advanced tab
4) Change the sample rate from the default 44.1k to 96k
