Is the SMSL SU-2 worth it for a dedicated desktop headphone setup?

I am upgrading my audio stack in 2026 and need a clean DAC with balanced connections. Has anyone paired this with a dedicated balanced amplifier? Would love to know if the soundstage feels precise.

It is an exceptional performer in its class. The integration of the ES9039Q2M processor paired with four OPA1612A op-amps delivers an extraordinarily low noise floor and crisp micro-detail retrieval. When integrating it via SMSL SU-2 DAC HiFi ES9039Q2M into your desktop chain, the AES/EBU digital input gives you studio-grade signal transmission without interference, making it an outstanding front-end for any demanding amplifier.

The instrument separation is outstanding. Running AES into my studio monitors transformed the clarity instantly.
