Had this under the bed for years, not seem more than a few hours use as when I bought it for the commute I found out my phone didn't do OTG so it was no use. I recently decided to use it for a desktop headphone setup with my Rpi while I work from home and it sounds really good even driving my Oppo PM3 planars. Unfortunately I realised I'd miss any unexpected callers if I was using it, so I'm now building a little speaker based system around a gainclone amp and selling this.

It has an Xmos usb convertor and a Sabre DAC. There's a really good review on ASR of the SMSL iDEA, which is identical to this other than the branding. It walked all over a Dragonfly Black [emoji16] They are also very positive about it's ability to handle high res and DSD.

Please note it apparently has compatibility issues with Android phones - I tried it myself and get the buzzing noise reported by others. (There seems to be a fix but I'm not patient enough to work through the threads to work it all out so it's probably best not to get it if you're wanting to use it that way).

Asking £30 delivered, a bargain surely?

Down to £25 if any good to anyone, will keep for Rpi use if not sold.
