Review and Measurements of WesionTEK Khadas Tone Board DAC

[wilbur1]

Hi @larisoe! - I have the gen 1 version of the Khadas on a second system and it works well. Very neutral IMHO. That said, if you mainly listen via Spotify I would suggest that it doesn't really matter what you use as the vast majority of these files are sourced from 44.1/16-bit FLAC files. As someone who has published many, many things on Spotify, I can guarantee you that these don't even sound as good as their 44.1/16 WAV originals, let alone anything of higher definition. For true HD you need to go well beyond this!

If you’re looking at the Tone Board also look at the Topping D10S, if its connectivity is sufficient it’s a better device overall for not much more $. FWIW I think it sounds a tad cleaner, but don’t quote me

Great inputs.
Be frank, my interest in Khadas is more on its nature to be integrated into something else. But, there're many things I like to try - so better to continue the path pursuing better "music" as priority.

Thanks a lot.
