    Very satisfied

    The device is efficient, the output signal is of very good quality.
    Tested with various headphones (JBL, symphonized and KOSS porta pro in particular), it improves the listening experience and allows you to increase the volume without distortion or background noise.
    The blue colour was chosen by default, but in the end, it makes it easier to spot it among other small peripherals on the desk.
    I'm very happy with it, and it makes me want to invest in a slightly higher end headset to fully enjoy an immersion in a sound universe that's a notch above.
