This thing is tiny. It is too small even for a standard Type A USB jack, so it uses a mini-B jack. The USB A-to-mini B cord is really short; if you want to put this on the back of an iMac or 27" Thunderbolt display, consider getting a longer USB A-to-Mini B cord.
Also, I initially had it resting on top of a spinning hard drive and it was picking up some hum or noise from the spinning HD. Moving it just a few inches away completely eliminated the hum, though, so worries! 
I'm listening to it right now. It's pretty cool having an actual analog volume pot in this thing. Driving my Senn Momentums like gangbusters with hardly any gain on the pot.
Some pics to follow tonight if I'm up to it....we shall see.
Once it burns in, I will be comparing it to AQ Dragonfly v1.2 and the LH Geek Out 450.
Once again, Schiit innovates like pretty much no one else in the industry. And, I mean that seriously. |
Thanks for the link. These guys look so cool. I want a Fulla just for the name, and for the price, how can I resist? Good Schiit!
