I bought this DAC/amp to drive some AKG K702 65th anniversary headphones, and it does an exemplary job! Right off the bat I was surprised at how small it was. I'm not exactly sure what I expected, I guess I thought the headphone jacks were going to be the larger 6.3mm rather than the 3.5mm. It came with stick-on rubber feet that keep it from sliding around your desk, and it sits nicely next to my speaker volume controller. It plugged into my iMac and required no additional software installation, just switched my sound source in my settings and I was off to the races! I've found that keeping my computer's volume maxed out gives great sound at 2-4 on the Fiio's volume. I rarely feel the need to go past 5 as it gets too loud. I guess this bodes well for needing to power hungrier headphones in the future! The additional line out on the back is great for plugging in speakers. The rear line out seems to be independent from the volume knob, so you can still control speaker volume with a speaker controller. Both front and rear line out jacks can run simultaneously, though I'm not sure I'll ever use both at the same time. If you're looking for a relatively cheap amp that is universally well-reviewed look no further!
