The importers tell me as follows:

"DACmini™ is not just a USB DAC. DACmini is one of the world's highest-performing digital audio devices. Its precision-engineered audiophile circuitry is designed to elevate your system's sound quality to a new level. The built-in headphone amp is controlable from the front panel and the line-level output sends audio to your stereo amp at fixed level.

Featuring 192kHz/24-bit performance over SPDIF and 96kHz/24-bit, driverless performance over USB, an analog input, and both headphone and line-level outputs, DACmini is an extremely flexible device that can upgrade the performance of any audio system. It easily connects to such sources as a Mac desktop or laptop (including Mac mini), Windows desktop or laptop, music server, iPod/iPhone, Apple TV, Airport Express, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Squeezebox, providing a variety of ways to create an audiophile playback system."

A Versatile Audio Hub

"DACmini is designed to be the centerpiece of your digital audio system. It returns the warmth to your digital audio without being obtrusive. The DACmini's sound is described as having "Transparent highs, tight bass, and clarity in the mid-range only found in products well above the £1000 price range." DACmini is also a versatile home audio hub, featuring a line-level input for your portable music player, an S/PDIF input for your digital sources, and a Class-A Headphone Amplifier that can drive virtually any headphones with lowest distortion. Placed near your computer monitor, it becomes the center of your desktop audio system."
