small and cheap

the size makes it really convenient to carry around (about 3/4 the size of a cigarette box). i use it to clean up my audio routed through to the consumer 2.1 speakers with a 24 bit/ 44.1 or 48 kHz sampling rate, that comes out pristine crystal clear, and really loud and club ready too! useful for mobile DJs with a small set-up! a useful ios ready headphone amp/DAC!

juicedmusic

Great interface for djing!

Great cost for good quality and output level and its great for gigs and live performance. And for those who know how it is playing at night parties, i wouldnt risc taking a more expensive interface to the rave.
