CEntrance DACmini DAC and Headphone Amplifier

Srajan Ebaen has posted a review of the CEntrance DACmini ($) at 6moons. His conclusions:

Let's keep it real though. With 4 inputs, headphone socket with analog volume and one analog input, CEntrance's pricing is ultra competitive against other newcomers. While I did prefer the €699 Metrum Octave, one must add $495/579 for a Stello U3/Audiophilleo 2 + $123 for a Black Cat Veloce S/PDIF cable or equivalent to even do USB. And that still wouldn't accommodate headphones or an analog source. In fact the DACmini plus $99 Pure I-20 digital-direct iPod dock plus Veloce makes for a very fine headfi system if—as one should—the necessary iSource is already owned. No matter how I slice it, this DAC has high value written all over it. I call that realsization. It's downsizing expense and box count to do more with less whilst getting very high return on performance. It's a good thing we have just the right award for that.
