If I read the review correctly, this DAC only has one output, an analogue line out. I think the manufacturer missed a mark there. The device is designed to be used with a computer. I would venture to say the vast majority of folk who listen to music from a PC do so using desktop speakers, many/most powered. Would it not make sense to provide a phones out so as to let folk using powered speakers plug the inputs directly into the DAC??

As it is, I would need to buy some sort of a headphone amp to use with the DAC and Powered speakers...

Or do I msunderstand this device??
