From bells and whistles to what I needed

I'm using these to power an Audio Technica m40x set which the website says has an impedance of 35 ohms. I used to use a full-blown home theater receiver to power my headphones, but since I no longer have a surround setup, it's become unwieldy and unnecessary. I can say the sound has improved over my previous setup, but it hasn't deteriorated and gets pretty loud regardless of the source. I connected it to my computer with an optical cable. One thing I had trouble with was that I was still sending dolby and dts signals from my computer and this unit was not receiving them at all, I was just getting loose noise and really nasty noise, I finally narrowed it down to that, and once I had my computer set not to send those signals and essentially just transmit stereo audio, it worked like a champ. I can't fault this device because at least it doesn't accept dolby and dts and converts to stereo in units as it doesn't claim to and it's more my fault and I don't think many people will do the same. did. This device is quite small, in the photos it seemed much larger, but I'm glad about it, the build quality is good, everything works. I read from another commenter that there is a click when he changes sources on his OS, I haven't had this problem on Windows 10, with web browser, VLC, MPC player, iTunes etc. only streamed stereo sound, it worked like a master.
