Better sound on the computer?

NuForce Icon uDAC 2 DAC - black headphone output (electronics)

Customer Review

Have ordered due to the mostly good reviews, the device, as I now hear music of convenience following mainly about the notebook in conjunction with a headset.

The processing of the part is high quality (metal housing), the transport packaging is good.

Now for the main part, the reason to buy: improve the sound.

As a music source I use a MacBook Air 13 "in conjunction with a Beyerdynamic T5p, which is well established (>> 100 hours). The music is predominantly in AAC or MP3 format, all at least 256 kbit / s. I hear querbeet both pop, rock, jazz, and classical music.

Commissioning of uDAC was smooth. Connecting to USB - ready. OSX recognizes the part and makes the sound automatically to the output source.

Sound? Well, frankly, I could not detect any significant difference. Since I was disappointed. Whining at a high level? Might be. But 122 euros for ... no difference? Therefore, with regret: returning.

Ps: The multiple faulted level difference between left and right channels did not occur to me. Deterioration of not sound;)

So good, so dark Rank: 5/5
