Review on 🎧 Monoprice 111567 Amplifier for Desktop Headphones by Patrick Lets

Not a bad amp overall. However, the knob is poorly made and feels like you could cut your fingers each time you turn it to change the volume. Also, the built-in DAC is just terrible. "Better than a computer's DAC" should not be the motto of an audiophile start-up company. The sound is both muddy and muddy, with poor instrument separation and visualization. When I listen to this, my AKG K712 headphones sound slightly better than entry-level headphones. On the other hand, when I connect them to the Fiio dock amp (only works with Fiio music players) and listen, it's the difference between day and night. better clarity, faster transient response, much more transparent, dynamic, higher resolution voices, etc.
