Expecting both a great DAC and a great preamp in a £100 box does seem to be pushing your luck a bit far!
it was in Pre amp mode, I'm not dissing the XS, it was great for the money just didn't suit my needs at the time, I nearly bought another last week until I saw user211's post about the distortion which reminded me why I didn't want one

Great little DAC and not bad as a pre as long as you didn't drive it hard, for around a 100 quid it's brilliant
