Very versatile and has a surprisingly good DAC - with some tweaks

Zeos briefly mentioned this DAC (needs to review it btw) and bought it for the Bluetooth to Toslink conversion I needed so I could all Could route Toslink signals through a DAC with a Toslink switch and it does the job well. Just out of curiosity, I opened up the block and found that it supports a swappable op amp, so I plugged in the op block that was lying around. Then I turned it on with the IFI low noise power supply, held the power button to turn it on (why? I wish it would turn on automatically) and hooked it up to the l30 amp and this DAC came alive. The only thing is, the packaging is all in Chinese, but that's all good, if you can buy this device, you can understand how to use it. Hope others find this useful!
