“features a legendary AKM4377 DAC” Are you kidding? it’s cheapest AKM’s integrated DAC+Amp (means no line out) chip used in dozens of dongle, bluetooth and low end players as FiiO M5, BTR3K ets. Also it has only single end output, so Lotto divides it at power amp stage for balased output. Sure, total result of DSP, CLC, DAC, AMP is superior, but DAC chip itself is so-so
