"I’ve been using with my desktop for over a month now. The amount of power it outputs, especially through the 4.4 mm connection, is awesome. I used to have my Sennheiser HD 650 at little over 50% volume and now with this dac it gets pretty loud at around 25%.It’s easy to use, essentially universal wi..."

"Sound well balanced across the mid-band, rendering vocals and musical instruments realistic. Has forward presentation hence sound quite engaging, though some may prefer more laid back presentation. Soundstage is wide with good instrument separation. Bass is acceptable but an area that can be improve..."

"This dongle has really impressed me over the past days. I will be using this for the foreseeable future! So what made me want to keep this device? Well this is the first small dongle that I have come across (especially for a reasonable price) that can power many of my full-size full frame headphones..."

"I normally don’t write reviews, but after tens of hours of exhausting research, buying and returning multiple DACs, I had to share my experience. I hope this saves others from the long, frustrating process I went through. I wanted a DAC to use with my Ipod Touch 7 (my beloved music source.)DACs I T..."

"This gadget is hands down the best thing I've ever splurged on—seriously, not even my last slice of pizza can compete! It’s so good that my car's speakers might just audition for a rock concert. From the moment I unwrapped it, I knew I was in for a treat. The sleek design, paired with its high-tech ..."

"This portable DAC is super impressive and is a solid little unit. Very easy to use and gives you the choice of unbalanced 3.5mm or balanced 4.4mm. I have been running this little guy off my Sonim XP Pro with a pair of Audix A10 IEMs using the 3.5mm input and I could not be happier. Unit is super sim..."

"Sound quality, staging, usability - nothing can beat this in this price range."

"Hi.. I'd like give my view on Qudelix 5K after using it for almost 3 months. Hopefully what I share below could help others to understand better about this device.Qudelix 5K is a very sophisticated audio device. I notice it captures firstly/mostly the 'serious' audio lovers/enthusiasts. I myself lik..."

"This headphone amplifier compliments the mefia player providing audio enjoyment."

"Sound quality, staging, usability - nothing can beat this in this price range."

"Amazing dongle not just for the price but one of the best dongles I've heard period. Build quality is stellar, it's light and tiny and the wood is beautiful. Sound is warmish and natural and the stage is huge, this really sounds way beyond the price point. It's quite detailed too, and resolution is ..."

"Great DAC! I’m using it for music production on iPad. It can live very comfortably on my headphones cable and it also doesn’t take up much space in a small bag. It sounds crystal clear, every bit as good as my DACs that cost three times as much. Drives my Beyerdynamic DT770s (medium impedance) well...."

"As stated plus everything I can't say that much better. She really is worth more than her dollar value. And is of the highest quality. It gets slightly warm and that is it. I bought the orange leather case obviously and it does not get any warmer inside of that. I bought the case even though at firs..."

"I’ve been in search of a good car play screen and seen this. This car play set is just perfect. Easy set up with detailed instructions. Easy connection via car play or android play thru Bluetooth. Screen size is perfect for my dashboard, it doesn’t block my view. The screen quality and sound quality..."

"Work exceptionally well with my IEMs. Pnp with my iPhone and windows laptop. Sound quality is fantastic."

"This device looks great and has a very convenient MagSafe attachment. The DAC does improve the audio quality for high-fidelity files. It’s like having 3D glasses for music. However, the only downside was that it suddenly stopped working after a few months. I contacted the company, and they repaired ..."

"Absolutely incredible, the sound quality is amazing, far superior to a simple type C to aux cable, which I had been using since upgrading my phone. Story time... I had recently upgrade from the LG V20, which has an amazing audio chipset in it, and I still use it as an MP3 player for that very reaso..."

"Fits perfectly on my pixel 10 pro xl with a ringke case with a mm of clearance to spare. Audio quality is brilliant. Microphone and controls work on my wired headset. No noticable background noise on my truthear hexa. Minimum volume is a little hih. Charging speed is good as well. Construction feels..."

"This DAC sounds good and I expected it to. Just like my 3.5 jack on moto budget android phone. No better and no worse. Someone should get this if they think they will like the form factor and not because of sound whatsoever. They all are a higher resolution than we can percieve. I've done hours of b..."
