New Cambridge DAC

[astral]

There’s little here to give away that bargain price. The packaging is slick, and the product even better. It’s a small unit, as is the way with this breed of USB DAC. The size – smaller than a typical matchbox – is part of the appeal, of course.

It’s easy to carry around with a laptop, and is truly portable as there’s no need for an external power source (apart from the computer itself).

We’re impressed by the build quality. The XS is cased in a smart aluminium shell – its nicely finished and feels classier than the price implies. Controls are limited to two buttons.

I still use a Sennheiser USB DAC I got with some of their high end headphones a few years ago - the difference in SQ compared to the built-in sound on my VAIO Z and Macbook Pro is black and white. Highly recommended if you use a PC as a music source, and want a high quality analog audio out.

I have a Fiio E7 and a Fiio E11, for different jobs of course. Both available in Thailand last time I checked.
