Great Little Device

I would highly recommend this product for anyone who really wants to hear their music "properly". Playing high resolution FLAC or WAV files at 24 bit, 96 KHz sample rate through this device will make you hear your music again almost for the 1st time!! This device is small, easily portable and will drive most headphones properly. Some of the more esoteric headphones may not co-operate well, as my AKG K340's which are very high impedance headphones, notoriously difficult to drive. They sound great, but this device doesn't have the power to drive that load very well. But it drives my friends' Dr.Dres' quite well. Very happy with this purchase!!
