It's a great deal at 179, it's an AMAZING deal at 99.
I have had various portable headphone amps (fiio e17, dragonfly, that brookstone 20 dollar super special one) that were all decent but the monolith is MUCH better.
I currently have mine paired with a pair of Senheiser hd560S cans and I'm very happy. The sound is the best I've gotten out of them. (I know, it may be time to upgrade cans)
The Dirac thing is pretty cool the "speaker like" imaging is nice, but it seems to "sterilize" the sound even more than it already is. I have to play with it some more.

AMP: Shiit Magni Heresy
DAC: Shiit Modi Modi 3
Headphones: beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO
If I only care about sound quality and not how loud it can get is this going to sound any better over the Magni it would replace?
Side note I am getting random buzzing every so often out of my current setup that I can't figure out where it is coming from...

This unit is an absolute bargain at any price under $200.

It has outperformed far past any audible transparency and can pretty much drive anything out there. Don't read just buy.

Edit: going to RMA it
Edit 2: Monoprice refused to replace and only offered a refund. They claim the item is "discontinued" and that they no longer have it in stock which is BS as they've been selling the same unit new for some time. I pointed that out to their customer service and they replied that the item number I purchased is different than the one that's currently in stock which is why they cannot offer a replacement. This amp has a label on the bottom with part number 39359 which matches the "new" version on their website, but the invoice has a different part number... that's an underhanded and BS tactic to avoid standing behind their product. Sending this broken POS back to them for a refund.
