Reviews of the model, not of a specific unit.
It is a source component: it needs an amplifier or active speakers, connected over balanced XLR or RCA. It adds HDMI eARC for the TV, a THX AAA headphone amplifier with two 6.3 mm outputs and Dirac Live compatibility, with the room correction bought separately from Dirac.
