I've had one for nearly a year and use the balanced output to my MA8900. I use it with my streaming services (Tidal/Qobuz) as well as my server. It functions very well and the DAC is better than the DA1 module in the McIntosh. I am using the Lumin software with it and it works great. I bought mine from Onkyo, it was a re-furb but you would never know it, it was perfect out of the box.
This is a good price on a decent streamer/DAC combo. I plan on upgrading someday to a Lumin T2, but for the time being this does the job.
