This little thing is a BEAST! Paired with my Sennheiser HD650 300ohm headphones they get as loud as you want them to get, and then some. Preserves neutral sound, cannot hear any distortion at all. When being used as a DAC it supports up to 192khz/24bit. No EQ except a "BASS" option which honestly I never use, and a "GAIN" switch on the back; I didn't need to turn it on to drive 300ohms. Works well with my HD560 150ohm headphones as well.
No audible interference so long as it's not being used while charging, battery life BETTER than advertised (lasts 13-14 hours for me), analog controls, and sleek black metal casing. Build quality feels premium and like it could last a long time. Seriously, this thing feels like it could survive being run over with a truck.
Charges in 3-4 hours.
Tested on Windows (USB-C, analog), MacOS (USB-C, Analog), iPadOS (USB-C) and iOS (analog). No app, no installations, it "just works."
Gaming with these is awesome; using DTS it definitely gave me an advantage when playing FPS games. K/D went from 1.3 avg to 1.7 avg since I've had this device.
It also seems to work in DAC mode with any old USB-C 2.0 cable, so you don't have to use the tiny cable that comes with the device. Paired with a 6ft usb-c cable, this thing basically adds a volume dial to my HD650 while being a pretty darn good DAC. To charge just plug it into a usb-A 5V power brick with the cable they provide you. The analog connection also seems to work flawlessly.
I noticed most of the negative reviews were for the 300ohm version; I think that is an older model. The 600ohm amp/dac combo (the USB-C model) is a steal at 40 bucks. Don't waste money on an expensive DAC that does the same thing without a built-in battery; the tech is decades old, there's no reason for people to be buying 500 dollar usb-sticks when essentially the same chip is being used in $20 dollar dongles. It's snake oil. Google how the Apple USB-C to AUX 9$ dongle sounds the same if not better than these three and four figure devices. EQ with software and spend that money on better headphones instead.
Only one thing more I could ask for: bluetooth, but at this price point I feel like as if I'm asking for just too much. Maybe they'll add it in their next iteration. Adding LDAC receiving capability is an obvious next step.
