Korg is a well know Pro gear manufacturer with a rather good reputation. At the price I think that DAC/Amp is quite a bargain. It has a decent CS4398 chip capable of true 1bit and has ASIO support so it can play up to DSD128 native DSD in Foobar.

Their synths are extremely good as well.

Seems like a lot of DAC for the money. Don't think I've seen anything with DSD support for close to that before.

It has a mini jack analogue output, a cheap minijack->RCA cable should cover the lack of RCAs or even an adapter like this one:

If you read Korg's site it seems to be the cheaper DAC in flashier clothes and improved amp stage (it has balanced XLR type outputz). SPecs are identical and it uses exactly the same chip. Imo not worh 4x more.

Great looks but still same guts, it'll be down to price Vs taste.
