Too bad it's crap.
Even Tempotec Sonata HD Pro for $30 sound way better.

How on Earth would you know? It's only been on the market for about two days and early reviews are very positive.

The fact that this DAC is a dongle is enough for me to walk away. Dongles only going to lower the USB port life expectancy even further. I'll stay with LG phones.

Well, good luck on that LG Phone strategy Yuki because LG announced April 5th they're leaving the mobile phone market.
