    SMSL SD-793II Optical Coaxial DAC Digital to Analog Converter Built-in Headphone Amplifier Black

    • The sound quality is awesome and volume level is more than adequate
    • Great build quality!
    • Maybe I just don't have headphones of high enough quality to hear a difference?Still, it was worth it for me, since it does allow me to remove the bulky speakers I no longer use off my desk, so for that reason
    • The sound quality is awesome
    • The sound quality is okay, kinda bright
    • The sound quality is better than with my high-end sound card and is comparable to the headphone out on my Onkyo TX NR646
    • Sound quality is great
    • While the sound quality itself is fantastic, the problem begins when you start to push headphones higher impedance or low sensitivity
    • Got this to pair with my first pair of better quality headphones (AKG 7XX from Massdrop) and it works fantastically
    • So easy to install, very affordable price and top notch quality
    • the sound is truly incredible. if you're using a high end CD player costing $500 you probably wouldn't hear much of a difference...but this little DAC unit paired with an inexpensive DVD player or CD player will make the music come alive, the build quality is beautiful it has a very high end look to it...if someone told me it cost two or three hundred dollars I would believe it.
    • Amazing sound quality; too bad it can't be used as a pre-amp.
    • I still give it a good review since the sound that I got over the clicks was very good and that I liked the general build quality, including the feel of the controls
    • the fact that this is even built from aluminum is insane for this price, this may be Chinese brand but its incredible quality and value for money.

    • Ok this unit works awesome, the build quality was much more than I expected.
    • 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 switches however are very cheap, they have a rough, light movement and don't feel solid throughout the range, much more plastic-y than metal
