Overall Feedback:
76% positive
68% liked the solid build quality
The build quality is good for a Chinese product and the volume wheel is accurate and nice to the touch.
The headphone-amp has a solid build quality with one dial that gives confidence in its quality and various ports that seem tight.
The build quality of the headphone-amp is excellent. I couldn't find anything to complain about. It is a solid unit with a smooth and progressive volume pot and tight and solid feeling jacks. Nothing wiggles or feels cheap/loose.
The build quality is solid with a sturdy volume knob and metal jacks all around.

61% appreciated the seamless connectivity
The device connects to my Mac quietly without any pop-up.
There are many options for devices to connect to the device.
I use this with an OTG cable on my Nexus 5 and Sennheiser HD 25s for good isolation, fantastic accuracy, and great volume compared to using the DAC on my phone.
64% found the noise floor and hum to be minimal
At my workstation, the noise floor is imperceptible.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the DAC not only eliminated the EMI buzzing I was hearing, but it also had a lower overall noise floor than my onboard sound card.
The E10K is totally quiet with no added hiss, noise, or buzz.
69% appreciated the portable design
The portability of this unit is unrivalled for a DAC and AMP. I can take it with me with no issue whatsoever and using a micro USB cable makes it very adaptable.
The headphone-amp is compact and can fit in my pocket with my phone.
The headphone-amp is portable and can be carried through multiple generations of upgrades without worrying about space or compatibility.
The headphone-amp is very portable with dimensions of only 79mm x 49mm x 21mm and weight of about 78g, making it easy to carry around.
68% appreciated the ample power and gain
The gain switch is great as it allows for a much wider range on the amp.
77% praised for its crystal-clear sound
My headphones had amazing sound quality, but the amplifier easily doubled it.
The sound quality of this DAC/amp is clean and transparent. It is noticeably easier to understand what vocalists are singing.
I tested the audio quality of the headphones with Audio Technica ATH AD700 and found that it lacked bass. However, with this amp, it sounds natural as ever.
I was very pleased with the sound quality of the music on my PC when I used it.
