Great quality for entry level with one major floor.
There is a saying about things being too good to be true, and that's what this is.
For an entry level product, it stands at the top in my mind.
You have more connectivity options than most standalone DACs, all of which work quite easily.
Speakers sounds great, if a little distant in the mids, but for this price, you get a quality that you don't get with the other usual suspects (Creative, Logitech, Corsair etc). There's actual thought to the tuning to make it both an excellent music listening and movie watching experience.
The sub doesn't go super low, but that's to be expected. Whilst it barely plays 30 below, above that it's quite authoritive, but the usual suspects probably beat it in quantity, but not so much quality wise.
So, if you want to start your journey on good speakers with more connectivity options than the competition, this is the way to go.
Unfortunately, there's one dealbreaker for me and for some reason it's not well reported. This unit and other units Edifier makes (including the 351 which is the newer revision) is plagued with an amp that makes a high pitched whining sound when no audio is playing. This can be heard when your room is silent (if you have a fan on, you won't hear it over the fan). At first you don't really notice it, but after a while it gets very annoying.
"But what about the digital inputs?" No. Sorry, it plagues those too, but only when you actually connect a source to it, otherwise they stay silent.
Now, if you're CONSTANTLY listening to sound (which is highly unlikely), then you're fine, or, you can manually turn off the unit every time you stop listening to music/sound (switches on and off quite fast), or, you can make your room's noise floor higher than the whine (a fan, open some windows if you're near a road etc).
So overall, I still recommend it for entry level users and those who can drown out / not hear the high pitched whine as connectivity and sound quality at this price point is awesome. I've already done entry level and have jumped into midfi (Klipsch RP-500M + SVS PB-1000 + Emotiva BasX + MiniDSP + my already owned Ifi iDSD Micro Black Label) which of course is in a different stratosphere, but cost almost TEN TIMES the amount AND I don't have Bluetooth :) So yeah.
Anyway, BE WEARY of this issue if you are a critical listener, it will destroy your relationship with this other amazing value for money unit.
