Review on AIMPIRE AD10 Mini USB DAC CSS XMOS XU208 ES9018K2M OPA2134 HIFI Audio Decoder Amplifier For Enhanced Audio Performance by Tony Doan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good USB to SPDIF/Optical Converter

I am using this not as a DAC but to convert the USB audio output of a small Android TV device (Nvidia Shield) to Toslink optical for input into my 2-channel Music/TV audio system. No complaints; it has been working very reliably, and is bus-powered to boot (one less wire to manage). I've played content with sampling rates of 44.1, 48, 96 and 192 without any trouble. Have not tested with MQA or any multichannel content, as those are not part of my use case.
