If you have decent speakers/headphones and can afford this. Buy!

I have been listening to this for 8+ hours a day on powered speakers and a powered sub (separate).

I was looking for a DAP cum DAC to upgrade my current player (Activo CT10 from iRiver). While I had no complaints. This is just better.

One immediate noticeable element is deeper solid bass. Not boomy (had to spend some time figuring out the crossover and volume).

On low-res Spotify streams, the vocals are clinical, but not unpleasant. On switching to a HD stream, it's a little better, but only slightly. May have to add a tube component somewhere in the chain. Not sure it'd help though.

Mind you, there is nothing wrong. It just stands out. That's all.

Never thought, I'd say this, but the soundstaging is better (Thriller, Money immediately come stand out). You can also make out finer details (can't believe I am writing this as well). But then I am upgrading from an entry level DAP/DAC.

Stringed instruments. Oh man! you can hear the pluck in detail (I mean I could earlier as well, but this is better).
I mentioned bass earlier, but percussion instruments need a mention. In well produced tracks, the sharp bass note and the decay (Flash) is a pleasure to hear. Even in controlled violence (Another one bites the dust) the preciseness is incredible. Of course, this is a function of the speaker as well. But noticeably better.

The items I mentioned above stood out for me. I would have heard these songs hundreds of times before on all sorts of equipment. This is just better.
That said, I was expecting some songs to come out better, but they didn't. For e.g. Paralyzed by Dream Theater. This could be because of source (Amazon HD stream), but can't say, because Barstool Warrior from the same album sounds better.

Some niggles/issues I haven't figured out yet. The volume knob does not work with the RCA connector (Not sure, if this is an issue or by design). This is fine for me, as I have a remote for the speakers. But obviously, the sub doesn't scale accordingly. This works for my setup as it is in my study and I don't need more than this. If this is an issue for you, you'll need to check around on this.

LED rings are a so so feature, with marginal utility (it identifies source quality /output (bluetooth)). I've turned it off.

Things to try:
1) With high-end headphones. I only have the XM5/XM3, which is kinda pointless.
2) Optical connection to the sub (and then speakers)
3) High-res files
4) Tube component (not sure, if I will ever try this)
5) Linear Power Supply (A Youtube reviewer insists it makes it better. No idea if it's true.)
6) Acoustic damping to see if something improves. (I have a lot of glass in the room including French windows)

What's missing?
1) A remote
2) Some vis software would be nice

Who should consider buying?
1) If you listen to a lot of music at home (WFH situation mostly).
2) If you have no dedicated Hi-res player or have an entry level one (like me).
3) If you already have some equipment that can make the most of it.
4) If you can afford it.

Bottom line:
This is a no-brainer. Buy!
