I fed my Dell laptop into my Ford F-150 Sony 6+1 sound system using this as the interface. The Dell is a surplus Precision model from the Gulf War with double cooling fans and 4TB solid state hard drives. The onboard sound card must have stayed behind because it didn't even crackle. So I fed the USB into the S9Pro and used the 3.5 mm standard jack to the Sony's AUX input. The sound was brilliant if not a little overpowered. Since I was on a 1000 mile drive, I actually found a Radio Shack and bought one of those 2.5mm micro headphone plugs and used the unbalanced output. Seems like the impedance worked perfectly with the Sony, not over-driving the bass and still giving separation I have never heard before in my truck. Overall, it is worth the investment. Give your sound system some time to allow the little card to burn in. after a few hours you can tune the sound to remarkable clarity. Since most system AUX inputs are unbalanced, you might want to add a micro-stereo to 3.5mm headphone adapter to help the overall impedance and eliminate distortion caused by excessive power. This small card made my old Dell sound like my home system which happens to be a Soundcraft recording studio. Money well spent.

Didn't blow my ears out and is a DAC. MSRP is high but I got it as part of a bundle with my MP145s.

Excelente sonido y amplificador

Purchased in hope of pairing with my Samsung Note 20 Ultra along with my collection of wired headphones such as my Beyerdynamic dt770 Pro. Unfortunately; this product simply didn't work! Before giving up on these, I did research as to why and found countless complaints of other users attempting to pair with the same or similar mobile device and learned the S9 Pro is incompatible! I wish HIDIZS made mention of this issue before I purchased!!!

The Hidizs S9 PRO DAC amplifier is a marvel of portable audio technology, delivering high-fidelity sound with its ESS9038Q2M DAC capable of decoding up to 768kHz/32bits PCM and native DSD512. Its small stature belies its powerful output, driving both single-ended and balanced headphones with clarity and depth. Designed for audiophiles on the move, its compatibility across various devices and detailed resolution make it an exceptional choice for anyone seeking premium sound quality in a compact form.

Ive had this dac since release, ive paired this with multiple type c devices and the result is terrific. I use Poweramp app to play my locally stored music, the single ended 3.5 is pretty good but it is night and day with the balanced output. My 300ohm sennheisers get more power from this than my 02 amp could ever do. Currently using this with a Xperia 1 IV. The only slight con is slight distortion at max volume, but at halfway device volume it is very loud and perhaps a slight power hog as well.

The sound quality was good while it worked. After an year of usage it stopped working, tried with multiple earphones and headphones and get no sound output. My average usage was just about an hour on 3-4 days a week.

It seems like they don't work on samsung devices. Users on online forums are saying the same thing. Hidizs support team claims it works on Samsung devices as well. It doesn't work on my Galazy Z Fold 3. If I plug it into my laptop and then quickly switch it to my phone it will connect but not if the device has been unplugged and without power for more than a few seconds prior. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the USB output on the phone or the player itself. I've used USB DACs on this phone in the past without issue. Hidizs support told me that they don't have time to try and debug issues on every individual phone model and that I should just go use it on other devices instead. That Obviously isn't practical considering I only own one phone and I bought it specifically for using with that phone. I'm going to return it. As a side note it did work fine on my laptop and it did sound good with the little testing I did with it. Build quality is a bit on the cheaper side but I have no complaints in terms of the sound.
