Pity, all that’s missing is a volume control so you can go direct to amp, as it has 2.5v output.

Some good reading on it here posted by project86

Would this dac provide a substantial audible improvement over my OL DAC; (using w/ Stax cans and Stax 313 solid state amp). My music source is iTunes files over Iphone 7; primarily live soundboards. Thx for your help. 
Thx George. I believe you are correct w my ol dac being delta sigma and as I don’t believe the files I import are pcm or dsd(not actually sure) I think I’ll pass on this r2r for now, tempting as it is. Appreciate your input. Cheers, Mike
