I really do not see what is wrong with the shape. Unless I am missing something this is not meant to be used like a mobile DAC but rather as a transportable DAC. Can you really appreciate "Studio-Quality Sound" in a mobile environment? Besides, that shape may work for some in their pockets.
Getting ready to head out after I finish my coffee. Had some great whisk(e)y and beer and got to listen to some nice gear and spend time with some awesome friends. Thanks for hosting this Adrian and Jacob.
