    Luxurious DAC/Amp with luxurious sound

    Let me begin with the physicality of this dongle. The chassis is made and machined from Japanese stainless steel, in which made it heavier, more rigid and premium hand feel. The accessories comes with premium packaging, a hand-carved bamboo box, a leather-style case, USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-C to Lightning cable, and a USB-A adapter. Which is more than enough for the price. Now, let’s talk about the features and technology of this dongle. It’s fully packed! It has multiple digital filters, Analog Processing Modes is one of the best features within this dongle. You can choose XBass to add a clean, weighted low-end boost. Pick XSpace to widen the soundstage and presentation.. Toggle iEMatch on to reduce background hiss and noise floor for sensitive IEMs. Then, lastly. If you want +6dB gain boost for demanding headphones, you can switch the Turbo Mode on. But my favorite of them all is the K2 HD Processing. It is licensed from JVCKENWOOD, this special upsampling/harmonic mode restores natural richness, analog-like warmth, and fine micro-details to PCM tracks. I would never ever use this dongle without turning this feature on. This DAC/Amp is by far my favorite of all my portable dongles. It is exceptional when it comes to raw power and clean amplification in a tiny form factor with a striking , durable stainless build. I, 100% recommend this product to all. Especially to all audiophile enthusiasts out there.
