Review Request E1DA Powerdac 2.1

[Bernd]

Hello Amir, if possible I would like to have a review on the E1DA Powerdac. I think this 80$ DAC/ESP/Headphone is a unique proposition in the head-fi market. The only thing coming close in functionality are RMI ADI DACs which are at least 10 x as expensive. I have both: the RMI ADI 2 FS sounds better to my ears but the value proposition E1DA Powerdac 2.1 is unbeatable according to. I would send it to you for testing but for the shipment cost, I could buy a second one - I live in Europe. TNX in advance. Keep the good work up. Bernd

I am wondering the same, given @IVX is on this forum it should not be a problem to obtain a sample for review.

I find the built-in PEQ and the HPA section (or lack thereof) the biggest points of interest.

The Qudelix 5K has a 10-band parametric equalizer to the PowerDAC's 7 and the ADI's 5, plus the bonus of optional playback over LDAC Bluetooth.

Indeed. I forgot to mention this model - that makes it 3 standing out in an otherwise very crowded market

I also hope to review e1da powerdac 2.1. I am very interested in the built-in PEQ

It seems to be a very good device, definitely catered to the mobile crowd of users but I can see it being a good DAC for a laptop.

It would be so nice to see this device tested! Because the E1 DA Powerdac 2.1 is a fully digital amplifier, it is perhaps extremely clean! Look at this YouTube video from 0.25 min to 1.57 min!
