Javier, do you know if this can be used solely as a dac rather than pre-amp?

I assume if volume is left at 100% it'll indeed act as simple DAC and output standard +/-2Vrms through the line out. In case you are interested , there is a thread at Pinkfish were the designer discusses it in depth, also a beta firmware is circulating fixing some problems like swapped channels when playing DSD or clicks and pops when changing sample rate family (44.1/48): www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=201691

certainly considering taking a punt in the new year. dont ask why cos i dont know!! i have tried a few different dacs over the last few years and have considered myself dac deaf. since listening to hd800 on Kameleon, im wondering if that may change. i seem to be hearing so much more detail that went un-noticed before. in the past i have really fancied the teac ud503 , but i am reluctant to splash out £600. the pro-ject offers a much cheaper option. thanks for the link, btw

I would love to compare the Pro-ject to mi micro iDSD...
Personally I think MQA is much more about not SQ related than anything else, total waste of time IMO. iFi is considering adding it to the micrso and nano iDSD for free but I couldn't care less.

been reading a bit more about the s2 lately and it appears its not without faults. no galvanic isolation being the main one.

Yep. I also was disappointed by that when an isolator costs just a few cents but stil is a very decent DAC for the price.
