The popular Topping d10s DAC sells for $100.
If you search on eBay or Ali, you can get a very similar "generic name" models for roughly 1/2 the price.
Anyone directly compare the two?
The eBay "Breeze Audio" from chinaaudiostore: -- $56.00 "Mini ES9038Q2M DAC HiFi XMOS XU208 USB ES9038 DSD DAC Soundcard Headphone Out"
Some pics of Breeze Audio:
Some pics of Topping d10:
================
Some "obvious" diffs:
Front display
Op-amps
Power (d10: USB; Breeze: external 12v)
Inputs (USB only for Breeze; d10 has spdif + USB)
Outputs (Breeze also had headphone out -- is it vol. controlled ???)
Crystal XO size ( larger units used in Breeze)
No electro caps in Breeze (seems to use Tantalums instead)
ETC...........
