There are a few of these types of things on the market; tiny things with 
headphone sockets and RCA outputs, sold directly out of China. Mostly for the 
hi-fi and Media Centre market, rather than pro audio. Interesting things, but I 
haven't used one myself.

I can't tell you about the chips, but I'm assuming they're *respectable* (i.e. 
at least half decent). Most contemporary DA chips are respectable these days. I 
doubt it will match a Lavry, Benchmark or Mytek, but I assume it will be more 
than acceptable for the price and purpose.

Annoying, isn't it!
