In this forum, we have shrimp appetite, but hot dog budget.Dcs Bartok, Totaldac d1-core, Chord Hugo TT 2.
It is an older design, stopping at 96 kHz. Trusting their specs, SINAD would be only 92 which is pretty poor with respect to DACs at or lower than its price.CAMBRIDGE AUDIO DAC MAGIC 100
I have this one and will measure it at some point.
This one I already reviewed: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...attle-of-google-pixel-headphone-dongles.4863/Venture Eelectronics Odyssey

+1 Meizu with DSD64 and DSD128 supportIt would be an excellent service to all smartphone users to have an update to the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone DAC dongle offerings.

Otherwise, I fail to understand why any DAC should sound subjectively better than the best measuring of the current $100 category DACs, unless it has to do with "euphonic noise" added to signal.
Seems to be incredible package for the price. The internal build looks decent too. However, sometimes official specs are unfortunately far from reality.SABAJ D5 looks like the best bang for a single DAC; specs
XLR output:
THD+N 0.0002
Dynamic range 127 db
SNR 120db
The specs say D5 is a more pro device as a DAC than anything under 500 USD. I look forward to seeing an @amirm `s review.
Also looks like the D5 is unreliable. The one review on Amazon shows that it failed for that buyer.Seems to be incredible package for the price. The internal build looks decent too. However, sometimes official specs are unfortunately far from reality.
I have been searching for it in all the usual places but have yet to find any such distortion.If you (or anyone) could begin to identify, catalog, and value the (variety of) euphonic distortions that potentially "sweeten" recorded sound it could well be a boon to the activity we audiophiles all share and enjoy, listening to music at home.
No issues with the links. What is the cheapest host solution to talk to these?Something out of the usual:
Audinate AVIO 1 analog output (ADP-DAO- AU-0X1)
Note: the 2 analog outputs would be even better.
See https://www.audinate.com/products/devices/dante-avio
or

(I provided the link to a shop for the price but if that's not allowed here, please just remove it)
That's a Dante DAC, which can attach and get sound from any Dante-enabled Pro audio device.
You may find the list of companies that propose Dante products here:

Note: You'll probably need a (any) 1Gb PoE switch.
I guess that's their DVS ("Virtual Sound Card"). It comes with an ASIO driver, and there is a 30 days license for $10.No issues with the links. What is the cheapest host solution to talk to these?
