Genre's the D1 excels at : Classical, anything Acoustic and Rock/Electro. Overall high marks for Audioengine for its implementation. I find the sound from this DAC quite effortless and all ranges of sound are well represented without any lacking points that I can find for a DAC in this price range. For me this is a make or break feature for a DAC, if it can't pick out detail than that's a deal breaker (unless its dirt ass cheap) and really if you plan to invest in a higher end pair of headphones you should want all the detail that can be revealed without costing an arm and a leg. It excels at high end detail, I'm noticing cues in music that I often find harder to hear (if at all) on lower end DAC's and without any required critical listening on my part to observe. Its also designed to sound great and let me tell you, it does this quite well. Now onto the sound, this DAC/AMP solution is mostly aimed at being portable. The white LED button in the front (power on and off button in reality) is also not overly bright. All in all very minimal and well designed. Solid construction as well, doesn't feel like a small brick of cheap ass plastic. Very sleek and low profile which I personally enjoy. Input data rate : up to 192KS/s (optical), 96KS/s (USB) (tested both and they are 100 percent functional without errors or static popping). It won't run any 600 Ohm monsters but you should really be looking at a beefier solution for those kinds of can's anyway, such as a dedicated headphone amp. Output impedance : 47 ohms RCA, 10-300 ohms headphone impedance (this is excellent for a vast array of growing low impedance cans out there). Power source : USB 5V (meaning bus powered and they do offer an optional AC adapter if you require it)įull-scale output : 2.0V RMS (RCA and Headphone) USB controller : TI1020B (able to process up to 96/24-bit)
