Anyone have any experience with the latest Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus. Thinking of adding this to my SB Touch

I've tried USB (with the Cambridge Audio USB 2.0 driver) and coax. I prefer the USB but there's not a massive difference. I am using the Audio Advisor Pangea brand USB cable. Don't have the optical option from my PC. Going balanced out from the DacMagic to a Burson HA-160 headphone amp. I have the HD-650, not HD600, and find good synergy in this system.

I've been burning in a new pair of headphones and have left the DacMagic Plus on for 24 hours straight. It was slightly warm but not hot. The headphone out on the DacMagic Plus was better than I expected. It drove both the HD650 and AKG K702 quite well. However, its no match for the Burson. Stronger bass and better dynamics with the Burson.
