Review: Sehr empfehlenswert! Würde mein Profil als konservativen Audiophilen beschreiben. Nutze verschiedene hochwertige Overear. Habe es auch direkt mit richtig guten Amps von Funk und Linn verglichen. Schlägt sich gut. Glasklarer sehr fein aufgelöster Sound. Beeindruckend kräftig für die Größe. Kleine Kritik: die blaue LED ist sehr hell. Im Dunkeln blendet sie sogar. Wird sehr heiß nach einigen Minuten. Unnötiges Gimmik
Review: Cet amplificateur porte bien son nom. Dans une petite boîte avec un style futuriste composé d’une fenêtre transparente pour mettre en évidence les circuits imprimés. 2 types de port jack 3.5 et 4.4mm pour vos casques filaires. Avec du flac, casque dédié pour la musique il y a une belle et réelle différence. Déjà le volume est bien meilleur avec une clarté mieux restituée qu’avec mon iPhone 15 Pro Max. Que ce soit basse, médium et aigu on redécouvre certaines musiques ou chansons. Sur du classique avec les mélodies de Zelda joué par l’orchestre philharmonique, certains sons ou instruments apparaissent ! C’est super simple l’utilisation, on branche le câble USB-C, après jack et en avant la chanson.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***. on 25 September 2024*

I tested this with the USB C port of a standard, inexpensive Android phone ("Blackview" is the brand) that I use as an audio streamer. I used Thieaudio Oracles, Dunu DaVinci, Sennheiser IE600 (all mid to high end IEMs), and for kicks, my Sennheiser HD600s full size headphones. All of them were plugged into the 4.4mm port. In every case, the sound was essentially indistiguishable from my desktop amp (Schiit Magnius) and portable amp (Fiio Q5). There are a lot of dongles out there in this price range of $70-$100, and I'm willing to bet that no one could tell them apart in a blind test. So in terms of sound, this one is good, but they all are. If someone tells you this is "bright" or "warm" or whatever, they probably would not be able to tell the difference in a blind test and are adding their own feelings onto their apppraisal. And if there is a difference, it's going to be incredibly subtle and immaterial to mostly everybody. The advantage of this device over something like an Apple dongle is the ability to use your headphones and IEMs that are cabled with a 4.4mm balanced jack. And there's apparently up to an entire half a watt of output into 32 ohms, which puts full size headphones in reach. Definitely, if your headphone comes standard with a 3.5mm jack, this device will drive it well. But it also had no problem driving my HD600s, which doesn't happen with something like the built in jack on a phone. For a headphone like that, which comes with a 1/4 inch jack, you will need an adapter or new cables (if you want to use the 4.4mm jack, you need balanced cables, about $30-$40). The 500mw of output comes with battery drain. In my testing, the battery drained about 25-30% faster than it does when using a separately powered amp. So in my case, I normally get about 12 hours of playback, and with the SMSL attached it was closer to 8. Some of that battery energy goes into heat, as the device gets reasonably warm to the touch. And it seemed to be warm even when nothing was playing, so from that I infer that it will drain the battery if plugged in even when not in use. I did test using a small powered hub to inject power while connected, but the device failed to work when the hub was powered. The hub did work, however, when not powered, but that defeated the point of the hub. Of course if you're using this with a plugged in laptop or PC, you don't have to worry about battery drain. But if you travel and want to use this with your phone, you might need to charge up more frequently than you're used to. Another tiny issue is the pair of internal LEDs. There's one on each side and they are very bright! When using this at night in bed, I had to cover it up beacuse it lit up the entire room. But that's a small niggle. The device feels very solid and well made. The windows are a visual treat, and the sculptured surface of the device provdes tactile feedback making it very easy to find the volume button without looking. The volume button is digital, which means there is no visual indication of the volume level as there would be with an analog knob (which is what my other portable DAC amp has). But the buttons provide a fine amount of adjustment without being tedious. In general, I dislike digital volume adjustment buttons, but these are better than most. All in all, I have a very favorable impression of this device. It's not my first item from S.M.S.L. They are a known company in the audio world and have a good reputation. It's well made, very simple, and very capable. The sound is as it should be. If your devices are all cabled with 3.5mm jacks, I'm not sure this would be better than the Apple dongle. But if you have balanced devices or more power hungry headphones, this would be a good choice. It's certainly more fun!
