If your headphones cost more than this DAC look elsewhere

The product worked and didn't need drivers in Windows 10. For that I give it 2 stars. At first I thought everything was fine. However, you will not be satisfied with professional monitors or headphones. I've encountered the most issues when using Sony MDR-v6 headphones. The Corsair Void Pro was more forgiving, but there were still audio issues. This DAC lacks punchy bass in sound quality. It was a pity that the bass was missing. A high-pitched squeaking/surround sound was also heard. Both problems have become an obstacle for me. I was using a newly built Ryzen 7 system with an x570 motherboard. The onboard audio on the motherboard sounded excellent, which is often rare for an onboard audio system. I haven't heard any coil squeaks on the DAC due to gaming or using the graphics card; The Envel DAC just didn't fit my needs. All in all it works, just make sure you use headphones at the same price as this DAC and it might work for you.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
