[32] Okay so first off this product runs around $+ and when first being released to the U.S. it was going for a typical $. Now, I will be honest I have seen B&H but never actually purchased anything from their site...wow boy should I have. I found this for $ less than the best price, but it does not end there. No, it was paired with a free headphone that is priced out $-$ and is considered one of the best in it's price range, the Shure 440 monitor headphones. So I get around + dollars worth of audio gear for the price of $, um sound good? ... Yes! it definitely does, and I am now currently trying out each of my headphones accordingly, because the external DAC I was using before this, AMB Gamma 1 Lite, was a good DAC for a older DIY model. It was only able to produce playback at 16bit and 48khz resolution, basically mastered CD quality. Now for a starting DAC(Digital to analog converter) it is very nice, but even with the first couple of minutes and without burning in the Fostex I could tell this is some of the best money I spent this year. Now, if all of this was not enough to sell you on this purchase, on top of this they offered free shipping.... and I got this device 24hours later from the initial order. Fantastic product! fantastic DEAL!, Fantastic bonus headphone!, and Fantastic store! I will definitely be adding B&H to my top 5 list for stores I check when ordering audio and computer equipment.

[Single Channel] This DAC is versatile and produces an amazing sound. It is easy to use and set up. I have mine at my office to listen to music while I work. It drives Sennheiser HD 600 headphones well. It is easy to switch from line out to the headphones.

[0.795 lb] First, let me start by stating that I am not a habitual audiophile, nor have I comparison reviewed countless products. Just a guy with an appreciation for music, a moderate budget, and enough desk-time to make a decent setup worth the investment. For reference, I am currently using this product in combination with the Master & Dynamic MH40 Over-Ear Monitors and TIDAL's HIFI digital streaming service. In sequence, this product was the third of three items that comprise my setup (monitors, streaming product, & dac - in that order). After purchasing good headphones and upgrading to better source material, the final piece was to eliminate the onboard sound processing on my MacBook Pro. When combined with other high fidelity products, this DAC made a noticeable different in the overall quality and listening experience. The sound is more warm/full and the notes more sharp/precise. I went with this particular DAC over some of the other similar (portable) units because of it's no-frills, all value feature set. USB powered, physical volume, and the ability to power headphones or desktop monitors. No on board EQ, gain, display, or anything else that may distract you from the core purpose of this product (to decode digital audio). I also went with this unit because other folks who are qualified to compare this product with others of similar likeness gave it high ratings for it's audio dac performance. Super happy with it. Would buy it again / recommend to friends.

[Dynamic] I've owned the Shure SE425 in-ear headphones and the SE535 for some time now. I love the clear and non-bass reproduction of the Shure SE425, on my iPhone 6s especially in conjunction with the In-Line Remote/Mic Cable. When paired with the Bluetooth 5.0 Communication Cable, the bass is much more pronounced, almost too much for me! The Shure SE535 headphones sound warmer, the frequency response may score better in tests, but in conjunction with my iPhone I prefer the SE425. However, things are different when pairing my Android phone with a DAC headphone amplifier: Here, the Shure SE535 headphones clearly show their strengths compared to the SE425. Without a DAC headphone amplifier, however, you can spare yourself the additional costs.

[3.3' / 1 m] This is a one cable solution to get from a computer with only usb c ports to a hifi DAC. Works as intended.

[>90 dB ref. 2V] I needed to add a separate streaming Roon end point for headphone use via a DAC. I looked at what was available to stream with a noise free and good time output to a DAC. iFi ticked all the boxes at a very low price point when compared to other options. The Zen has SPDIF and USB for the digital DAC outputs. I used the USB. Both Outputs have tech to insure that noise/timing issues has been limited to a minimum which is very important ( Rubbish in means rubbish out). Ethernet used since this ensures no dropouts or throughput issues. You will have to set the system mode selector (Roon for me) so again one should know what you are using or plan to. It was straight forward to set up by going to ifi websight (internet search if in doubt). Performance wise this sends a very good digital stream to my DAC. No issues with timing or noise. The imaging and musical enjoyment match my Roon driven /SSD NAS / Meridian MS600 endpoint. So full thumbs up for very little money.

[3' / 0.9 m] This is an unusual USB configuration and I am glad H&H had this cable, and in this length. I can finally reach my Mac to my DAC attached to my stereo receiver. Its works / sounds great.

[1x HDMI Input ] I've just bought 30n but it is so frustrating that I can't find where I can download the USB dac driver! Please help!

[2-Way] If you never spent money on DAC/hi-fi speakers and consider an upgrade, this would be your go-to option. Just one USB cable and you're getting decent DAC + amp + speakers. For many people this might be a life changing moment.
