I love it. During the last three years I've went from listening to music on my iPhone to using a Hi-Res Sony Walkman. For the sake of this Walkman I've upgraded my collection of music to Hi-Res (the favorites) but it still has been nagging me that my portable player plays my tunes better than my PC. No more. Installation went smoothly (after I realized my PCIe 4x1 port was disabled due to having U.2-port enabled).
Games and Hi-Res music sound noticeably better compared to the SupremeFX (SupremeFX S1220 CODEC) on the Rampage motherboard.
Pricing is a bargain for the sound purity. Absolutely no hiss or disturbing background noise anymore. 
Just for comparison, there are plenty of people spending $60000 on amps. Watch the WSJ video on "Japanese Audiophiles Are Going to Extremes".
