    • Fantastic Value for a first DAC
This is a fantastic DAC for the price with so many features that I love. The build is of the highest quality, very durable metal, and the volume knob is as smooth as it gets, just amazing. There is plenty of power on this DAC unless you need huge amounts of power (You would need a dedicated amp for really high impedance headphones). The "true bass" feature is very impressive: it does muddle the sound a bit but this is by far the best implementation of a bass boost that have ever heard. More than likely you will need another cable since the one provided is so small, that would by the only negative criticism I have for this DAC. If you are using IEM's on this DACI would recommend an impedance adapter. For IEMs this DAC is too noisy. The only IEM that I can use without any issues are Planar IEMs since they benefit from the extra power. I would stick to headphones. ... show more

    • Best DAC/Amp Combo for $200!!!
My experience/history: As a musician/guitarist I can learn songs by ear, have a small personal recording studio with all the gear/interfaces/mic pres/channel strips/plugins/DAW/many mics and multiple tube amps and guitar cabs. Just my opinion but look no further than the ifi Zen Dac v2 ...for $200 this is it. No need to look any further ...no need to do any further research. Amazing build quality and sound quality. I am a huge fan of Burr Brown converters ...they are smooth, warm, sublime. I have them in my interfaces and power amps. They help take the edge off of the "digital harshness" that is inherent in digital music. The bass boost is amazing adding low end weight to songs that are lacking in the lower mids and bass. It works better on certain songs and certain headphone combinations. Worth every penny. Stop thinking, just buy it. ... show more

    • The best I found under $200
Any of these are going to greatly improve the sound over plugging your headphones directly into the mini-jack on a computer. Listening was done with a few different headphones but mostly with beyerdynamic DT 700 PRO X Closed-Back Studio Headphones. Music source was a laptop connected to the DAC/Headphone Amp via USB. If an external power supply was included, I used that. If not, power came via USB. I've kept notes on my impressions brief and included comparisons amongst the DAC/Amp's in this list. They are listed below in my order of preference with my favorites at the top. If you want flowery vocabulary I'm sure in depth reviews are available out there on the web. Headphones make the greatest difference in sound - spend more on them, if necessary. The DAC/Amp is secondary but does add its own flavor to the music. --- iFi Zen DAC V2 | Desktop Digital Analog Converter (Listening only with "TRUEBASS" off.) Very good. Slightly better than the FiiO K7. Better vocal clarity and slightly fuller bass. I ended up comparing this with the FX-Audio DAC-X6 head to head, which continued to surprise me as I put it up against significantly more expensive competitors. Across several hours and many pieces of music, I prefer the iFi... but the difference is infinitesimal. Possibly the iFi has a little more punch to the bass? Maybe a bit more space ans separation? If you're working to a budget, get the FX-Audio and put the extra cash towards better headphones. FX-Audio DAC-X6 Mini HiFi 2.0 Digital Audio Decoder DAC This thing is good. Surprisingly good. I ended up putting it head-to-head with amps costing three times its price. Slightly warmer sound, with slightly less detail in the vocals than the iFi Zen Air, but more space in the music, and more enjoyable to listen to. Slightly better clarity than the Topping. FiiO K7 Full Balanced HiFi DAC Headphone Amplifier This is indeed better than the K5 version. Vocals are more lifelike. And a particular emphasis on the mid-treble heard in the K5 is absent. There is more separation between the instruments. Very close call with the iFi V2, with my preference going to the iFi for better vocal clarity and slightly fuller bass. iFi Zen Air DAC Not quite as good as the V2, but close. Closer than the FiiO K5 is to the K7. There is, again, a comparative emphasis in mid-treble and the vocals get a bit lost. The sound is slightly thin compared to rivals at this price point. FiiO K5 Pro Headphone Amps Portable Desktop DAC and Amplifier Not quite as good as the K7, but at half the price one cannot really complain. Vocals are not quite as lifelike and there is more mid-treble - but not in a good way. Topping DX1 Mini Stereo DAC Headphone Amplifier Combo Very good little unit. Bass is slightly overemphasized. Fosi Audio K5 Pro Gaming DAC Headphone Amplifier I thought this unit was DOA. Turns out that you must long press the volume knob to turn it on. (Short press to select input.) Not terrible, but not as musical as the others in this test. Also, the only one with bass and treble knobs. And only a mini-jack - no 1/4" jack. Pro-Ject Head Box S2 Digital This DAC/Amp had an issue that makes it unlistenable. The sound is very nice... but... there's some faint static. Only in the music, not in silence. A faint crackling.... Can't have that. ... show more

    • Excellent sound and build quality
This is my first DAC & headphone amplifier. My Sennheiser HD 560s and ATH-m50x sound exceptional. USB to my MacBook Pro is a great combo for home desktop use. Installed the MQA with Filter firmware and everything sounds HD or Ultra Hi Res. Very happy with this purchase.
