Review: Clean, beautiful, compact, the actual perfect amp/dac - Seriously a must-have for DAC/AMP, I can’t even call it a starter despite how good the value is. It functions smoothly as soon as it’s plugged in and easy to drive most of my IEMs and headphones (Truthear Pure and Sennheiser HD58x). And the unit is so small which is actually something I really really like, I can place it anywhere on my desk or move it to a new setup completely. This little thing is so underrated I seriously couldn’t recommend it enough, worth every penny from me. I will say don’t forget to remove the little plastic film, I thought mines was damaged but it’s good as new actually! In my past experience of using headphone drivers I tried the other expensive interfaces like the latest gen Scarlett Solo and absolutely HATED it, they trash the audio, cutoff sound from windows, or other bloat software junk filled in it. This thing has none of that, just connect smoothly and you’re done! I was considering the upgraded version for a bit but this is so compact and nice I wouldn’t change it out for something worth way more in price at this point.
Review: Perfect DAC for 2 input sources and volume control - Fantastic DAC, zero noise, completely transparent, perfect for my needs! Using to connect a CD player's coax S/PDIF, and TV's optical S/PDIF to a Fosi BT30D Pro amp. Volume control works great, and is remembered even if it gets disconnected from power. I needed a DAC with volume control over the line output mainly because my CD player's sound output was too high. Measured the USB power consumption and it's only 0.5 watts. I tried the Headphone Amp function and it works great too, but my main use case is DAC to line output, easily switchable between my 2 input sources. The unit looks beautiful and well built. Great job SMSL!
