Okay, first things first it's not audiophile quality but no-one with any brains is expecting it to be. I was hoping for decent MP3-ish quality and it does that well. If it's not doing that for you, I'd imagine either you're using it with crap headphones or you ended up with a bad unit and should get it replaced.I'm using mine hooked up to the headphone jack of my very good quality receiver. I use a splitter, to separate the L & R channels to input to the DC800, and plug my headphones into a Jabra Clipper. Pairing with the Clipper went flawlessly. Everything works as intended and I get to watch the tube or listen to music after the wife & kid have hit the sack. Lets me watch all the AdultSwim stuff that I don't want my kid to hear and all the scary movies that would probably give him nightmares without keeping the missus awake. Also works fine downstairs while working out.If I was going to b!tch about anything, it would be body of the power transformer. It's off to one side of the actual tines of the plug so depending on the orientation of your powerstrip, it may block the neighboring outlet. Not a big deal, but still... The unit itself is bigger than I thought it would be, but also, not a big deal.Still, very worth the price. Am very pleased with it and hope it lasts!
