If I see anything strange, I'll tell you. I bought it to make headphones that are simple, have no extra functions, and have low impedance and high sensitivity. I am attaching a referenced photo from when I was testing it in the office with the mobile headphones, so you can see the size. High gain When listening at low volume, lower the volume on the PC and turn the volume knob on the main unit a lot.

I bought it for use as a DAC for a Linux PC to service self-amplified speakers and use occasionally with headphones. It doesn't preamp the speakers so you can't control the volume of the speakers, only the volume of the headphones. Works well with my Sennheiser HD600, HD560S, and HD598 and gets them very loud.

I really liked it, the sound is clear, detailed and not at all colored for what I'm used to. I have tried using it as a DAC for the Raspberry Pi 4b with Volumio and with MooDe. Another peculiarity is that it serves the headphones and the speakers at the same time, if you don't have an accessible switch on the latter it can be very uncomfortable.

Connect the USB to the computer, the RCA cables to the speakers and that's it, without further ado, no drivers required, tested on Windows in the office and on Linux (Fedora 36) at home. This is actually a decent dac for my 250 ohm headphones. Also, it's better to refrain from headphones that require a lot of power.
It works great with very low consumption. It doesn't have a separate power supply, it's powered directly from the computer but I haven't noticed any kind of interference, creaks or noises. I don't have enough power. It has a switch on the back, of a little fair quality, on the back to change the gain.
Besides power, theres also a VERY noticeable improvement in soundstage and imaging compared to my laptop's built in headphone jack. It is smaller than expected and has good aesthetics and finishes. Driver download and installation is a must, as the device wont work otherwise.
There is no such thing as a loss of connection so far. No complaints especially for the price. I can use it as soon as I plug it into my PC and it makes a beautiful sound. There is a channel imbalance near the lower volume limit of the volume knob.
