## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean, beautiful, compact, the actual perfect amp/dac
*by  on Reviewed in the United States September 25, 2025*

Seriously a must-have for DAC/AMP, I can’t even call it a starter despite how good the value is. It functions smoothly as soon as it’s plugged in and easy to drive most of my IEMs and headphones (Truthear Pure and Sennheiser HD58x). And the unit is so small which is actually something I really really like, I can place it anywhere on my desk or move it to a new setup completely. This little thing is so underrated I seriously couldn’t recommend it enough, worth every penny from me. I will say don’t forget to remove the little plastic film, I thought mines was damaged but it’s good as new actually!In my past experience of using headphone drivers I tried the other expensive interfaces like the latest gen Scarlett Solo and absolutely HATED it, they trash the audio, cutoff sound from windows, or other bloat software junk filled in it. This thing has none of that, just connect smoothly and you’re done! I was considering the upgraded version for a bit but this is so compact and nice I wouldn’t change it out for something worth way more in price at this point.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good DAC
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 11, 2025*

It is a pretty good DAC. Simple to set up, functions well, good sound quality, and overall a very pleasant piece of equipment.One thing to note (definitely on me and not on the company at all), you would need to buy an adapter as well to use it with 3.5mm headphones/IEMs. Kind of wish they threw one in the box so it is compatible with some more standards.I only had one pair to test out the 1/4in jack, and it sounds good, but it is a pair that I don't intend to use with the DAC. Got an adapter so I can plug in my IEMs and got to use it to it's full capabilities after setting it up. Absolutely solid for someone who wanted a simple setup for simply good sound in a much more simple spot on my desk and closer to my head. All through one cable from my PC.Highly recommended for those who want their DAC placement to be a lot more flexible and even be some stylish desk candy to look at. The good sound quality is also a decent bonus on top as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect DAC for 2 input sources and volume control
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 21, 2025*

Fantastic DAC, zero noise, completely transparent, perfect for my needs! Using to connect a CD player's coax S/PDIF, and TV's optical S/PDIF to a Fosi BT30D Pro amp. Volume control works great, and is remembered even if it gets disconnected from power. I needed a DAC with volume control over the line output mainly because my CD player's sound output was too high. Measured the USB power consumption and it's only 0.5 watts. I tried the Headphone Amp function and it works great too, but my main use case is DAC to line output, easily switchable between my 2 input sources. The unit looks beautiful and well built. Great job SMSL!
