For whom?

More and more dacs are coming to the market that unite multiple functions, making the position of the traditional preamplifier a bit… well: difficult. And even the separate headphone amplifier is threatened by products like the Ultradac. Why would you buy three separate devices if the level of integrated systems is so high? In addition, the ease of use of the Ultradac is ‘outstanding’. The standard remote control may look simple, but controlling the volume of both the preamp and the headphone amplifier is an absolute pleasure!
The ‘mute’ function works great as well just like the easy-to-read screen. If desired, this screen can be partially dimmed but this didn’t bother us. If you have a pair of nice headphones lying aeound you will rarely lack power and we suspect you will more reach for them more often then before (we used them a lot the past few weeks) because the sound is so addictive.
