$229, anyone have pros or cons?

Looks like a nice little unit, especially for the price.  The headphone section is interesting as it uses the main amp with a resister network, how my old NAD 3020 does it.  Much better than a cheap chip.

I have the Emotiva BasX PT-100 Stereo Preamplifier/DAC/Tuner which, despite its name, also has a 50 wpc power amp in it. It's really a multifunction receiver. 

I have it in my bedroom system with Canton Karat 60s and a Canton sub. It makes very pleasant, non-fatiguing sounds.

I had one and found it dynamic, but a little harsh and bright with my system.
Tidal -> Blusound Node2i -> Klipsch Chorus II (updated with Crites).
