This is the aim Tube AS301 DTS.  It is the world's first USB Audio dongle supporting DTS Surround Sensation Technology. In these photos it looks quite big, it is actually a very small device. Notice that the two holes at the bottom are the normal headphone jacks found in any MP3 player and most smart phones these days and you get an idea of the scale.
