Very versatile and has a surprisingly good DAC - with some settings

Zeos briefly mentioned this DAC (needs to review it btw) and bought it because of the Bluetooth to Toslink conversion which I needed so much can pass all Toslink signals through a DAC with a Toslink switch and it does the job well. Just out of curiosity, I opened up the block and found that it supports a swappable op amp, so I plugged in the op block that was lying around. Then I turned it on with the IFI low noise power supply, held the power button to turn it on (why? I wish it would turn on automatically) and hooked it up to the l30 amp and this DAC came alive. The only thing is, the packaging is all in Chinese, but that's all good, if you can buy this device, you can understand how to use it. Hope others find this useful!

Pros
  • A DAC to work with a computer. This product can be connected to a computer as a USB audio adapter to convert audio to high-quality coaxial/optical/analog output. Just plug and play, easy to use, no more connection problems
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
