When I turn the sub off, I didn't really hear much of the bass boost. The bass boost was too much for me, but I have a sub for my near field speakers. The sound stage spread out quite a bit, but just sounded like echos and reverb. The 3D holographic setting really changes the sound, but I didn't like it.

I use it connected to my Sonett 2 (my plan is to save for a Bf2, or equivalent) and i was pleasantly surprised when i first tested it, as it's very engaging and fun to listen to. The reason i have it is because i need it for traveling/stays at my girls place and for this purpose it is much better than say, my old Mojo or the Carbon and still can come home and plug it in as a DAC with the feeling it does a capable job at it. The problem i see here is value and purpose, if you buy it new it makes it overpriced for a DAC-only unit and down right a bad buy. As a whole it does a great job, has several options and as a DAC is good.
