Mytek Brooklyn overkill?

If you like Mytek but don't need the additional features of the Brooklyn, check out their Liberty DAC.  It's also much less expensive to boot.

If you EVER think you may want to stream Tidal and MQA in the near future go for the Brooklyn.
I have been using one happily for over 6 months and the SQ is very natural and open.
Plus it does have the capability to act as a full preamp so you do have plenty of options down the road.
Oh the headphone performance is just about worth the price of entry on its own!
Good luck.

Thank you all for your insights! I am intrigued by the RME. Although the stellar reviews of the Brooklyn are tough to ignore.....

You missed some reviews that say otherwise...
