How can we have missed this opportunity?

Why does that read like a carefully written ad?

If you want to share your experience with this component, tell us about your system, other DACs you’ve used, what type of music you enjoy and how, exactly, this DAC has impacted your listening experience using ordinary, conversational language. What you’ve posted sounds like ad copy, which 1) actually tells us nothing and 2) makes you sound like a shill.  

Since it’s labeled a “Frequently Returned Item,” I’m not going to give it a try—even for $10. Let me tell you a story. Several years ago, there was a reviewer (a YouTuber who’s still around) raving about the Behringer UCA202 DAC. It cost $30 then, and he claimed the sound quality was unbelievably good. I bought it and tried it, only to find that it was, at best, on par with my Windows PC—flat and just as noisy as my PC’s USB output. I didn’t even bother returning it, so it’s still sitting in one of my drawers. It can be used as an optical port converter, though. If you want it, I can ship it to you for $10.  You get what you pay for.  Life is short.  Don’t collect junk like I have done.

Well, finger-pointing always ends up with four other fingers pointing back at you. My $1k DACs might be regarded as junk by others too. LOL.

Oh dear. My post was a joke, totally tongue in cheek, the text was indeed copied (for its idiocy) from the Amazon page.  It is worth following the link to read the rest of the blurb - it gets even more extravagant. 

I should have waited 2 more months for April 1.

It might be worth $9.95 and doing a real review.
