No distortion on my cheap or expensive headphones

All my headphones are pretty easy to drive and it will push them all well past painful

This is a great headphone amp

5 stars for best DAC in the price range, and it includes a good headphone amp.

The right headphone stopped working and sound on the left ear became an ear piercing static sound

I have tried many headphones/adapters still hiss and static.

The best, cheap headphone amp you can get built into a DAC

Great small headphone amp, and is very clear and crisp

So, if you are like me and just need a decent headphone amp with optical input then buy this

Got this to pair with my first pair of better quality headphones (AKG 7XX from Massdrop) and it works fantastically

And it has plenty of signal to drive these high efficiency headphones louder than I would ever need

This is my first DAC/AMP, so I don't have a good point of reference, but I've used my headphones with a couple friends' DACs and mine sounds just as good

The best, cheap headphone amp you can get built into a DAC

Good headphone ampCONS-No USB Input for those that need it for source and power

There does seem to be some slight channel imbalance at low volume levels which can be an issue for very efficient headphones.

I tried Bluetooth headphones but didn’t like recharging often

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

While not the best headphone amp on the market, this product is exceptional for the price

Unless you have some pretty efficient headphones these aren't going to power them fully

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 finally decided to move to headphones only, but I was still dependent on the headphone jack in my speakers for volume control and amplification, which lead me to look for a dedicated headphone DAC/amp

There are obviously better sounding DACs and more powerful headphone amps out there.

so I don't risk blowing out my headphones
