Hi, I have nano IFI DSD mainly connected to a MacBookPro 17" with 2TD SSD
inside. I use it mostly with headphones (Beyerdinamic DT770 or Senneheiser
QC25), occasionally I connect two amplified speakers M-Audio M3-8. With HD
files (classical music), including DSD, it works perfectly, with great
detailed sound. With rock and the speakers is impressive, however I never
made comparison with other high level DAC.
