It's small, solid, reasonably well built; the buttons aren't bad; the knob doesn't evoke confidence but is at least smooth
CONS:-The original product came broken.-Aside from the solid metallic build quality, the buttons and knob feel cheaper than the rest of the product and feel like they could be improved.-The Power/Select button system is a little confusing since they seem to do the same thing
Very good build quality and amazing sound using it with my Bluesound Vault and its optical output.
Massive improvement over on-board audio.- SOLID build quality- Reliable- Nice looking- Subtle- Can be used with an Xbox, etc
Sound Quality: Excellent!I am using this for home audio production, so it is very important for me to have as clean and true a signal as possible and I am very pleased with my decision
The highest volumes are on the verge of discomfort but are not painful to listen to in my tests (although you will obviously suffer hearing loss if you do listen to anything at high volumes for any length of time).This product is just perfect if you are looking to buy a good AMP/DAC combo for home use under $100 without any compromises
One of the best DAC/AMP combos you can get at this price.
This is basically the best dac/amp combo below 100$, I wouldn't even consider anything else unless it's on sale
Pairing these two together makes a superb combo at an unbeatable price
So I decided to start small, with an inexpensive DAC/amp combo
The sound quality is awesome and volume level is more than adequate
running SPDIF from my computer, sound quality is awesome.
I'm by no means an audiophile, but I do appreciate good sound quality
Fiio E10 Pros:-USB cable powered and supplied-Ultimate portablility, great for travelling with laptop-Powerful amp-Bass BoostSMSL SD793-II Pros:-AC powered with optical/coaxial input (no USB power fluctuations/interference)-Superior audio quality in sub $100 range-Cheaper than the Fiio e10 or e10k competition-Super sexy black metal finishI docked 1 star because many users have had reliability issues with SMSL products
Very good build quality and amazing sound using it with my Bluesound Vault and its optical output.
Sound Quality: Excellent!I am using this for home audio production, so it is very important for me to have as clean and true a signal as possible and I am very pleased with my decision
So easy to install, very affordable price and top notch quality
I got a unit for very cheap price that has sound quality in the same class as my old Denon $2000 receiver with burr brown DACs
If you are looking for a quality S/PDIF DAC at a reasonable price, look no further
The price was right, and the outer build is good (metal casing, decent knob).
The sound is excellent from both CDs and Flac/Mp3/Ape files.
The sound is amazing and I've only got it barely turned up for great sound.
After about a year of ownership it developed a rattling sound when turned off.
The THD is excellent; it's one of the cleanest sound feeds I've heard from a unit this cheap.
I've been using this dac/amp combo for about a month now and it does a pretty great job of producing clear and loud sound through my Philips Fidelio X2's
I have tried many headphones/adapters still hiss and static.
I absolutely love the headphones, and I've heard many times that adding a quality headphone amp and DAC will make the headphones shine
I use the product with Toslink (optical) input, fed by my computer's optical out; it drives a pair of NVX Audio XPT100 headphones (64 Ohms).At lower volume, the two headphone channels are not equally loud; this quickly disappears as normal (less loud than most would use, I think) listening level is reached, but if I turn it down for more quiet listening, the difference is very noticeable
I tried Bluetooth headphones but didn’t like recharging often
So, if you are like me and just need a decent headphone amp with optical input then buy this
