Only reason I don’t have it labeled as “excellent“ is due to a small dent on the top of the unit (see phot with yellow arrow) which is barely visible and not visible at all from the listening position and lastly it has no impact on the functionality of the unit. I purchased this dac from The listening room, used it a handful of times and the sound is stellar. Check for reviews online and see for yourself. Don’t want to sell it honestly but I have to. PS- this dac does not have a usb imput. They sold a separate box for that which I also have and am listing here on Reverb. If you need to plug a usb into the dac then you need this other box as well
