I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I use it with KRK rokit 8 monitors, the DAC breathed life and, most importantly, bass (!) into their sound. For the first time, the sound from these monitors gave a lot of goosebumps to this little guy. For electronic music 100% recommend.

Pros
  • Price Bright and emotional sound with excellent elaboration of all frequencies. I can say that I hear an emphasis on low and medium frequencies, high frequencies have faded into the background. Compact dimensions, the size of two bank cards connected along the long sides (even smaller)
Cons
  • Calm compositions can lose their weight and thoughtfulness. Once a week you have to restart, because it stops transmitting sound. The volume control on the front panel only affects the sound of the headphones. Noise! On the monitors it is not noticeable, but the headphones transmit it. Perhaps you can solve it with ferrite rings, but there are no other cables to check. (There is also a nuance with the fact that there is no grounding in the house, this definitely affects the overall noise level)
