Sony UDA-1S USB DAC amplifier silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Why do you need a DAC? Where is his strength?
A USB DAC is simply connected to a laptop, PC or Mac
and is virtually an external sound card. The DAC converts the signals of the computer and sends it to an amplifier.
Furthermore, imaging equipment can be connected via jack, RCA, optical and coaxial.
All benefit from the built-in sound adjustment and improvement.
And the sound that is produced by the DAC phenomenal.
Connected to my stereo system (NAD amplifier and Cabasse MC 40 speakers)
results in a crystal-clear sound image.
Normal MP3s sound great.
The UDA-1 has also installed a sound enhancer for it.
Although I am very skeptical about such improvers. Here the works but perfectly.
Any tracks sound a bit more clean and sophisticated.
Via Internet must be downloaded to the computer drivers.
After that, it works fine.

The UDA-1 now has even built an amplifier for the home and
making it attractive as a standalone device.
I Befeuere my Cabasse with the little Sony sound continues
clear and differentiated. One can enjoy music. Even in films no weakness.
The UDA-1 amplifier should be seen only as an accompaniment.
For home, but perfectly adequate for the sound to a large room.
For proper parties where the music is in the foreground, he is, however, too low.
From about 80% volume but the sound is much worse. The amplifier then feels overwhelmed.
Equaliser is not found on Sony. Personally, I think, but nothing of such things.

~ Conclusion ~
The UDA-1S Sony is a USB DAC a very good INVESTMENT opportunity.
Tonal superclass it can certainly improve some home theater or music rooms.
He also has an amplifier, it can be also very good in the home
use as an output device for televisions etc..
Thus, the UDA-1S almost deserves the title of a penny!.
Negative I rate, however, the remote control, which acts like a 30 unit.
Even an Apple TV has a higher quality remote control. Something disturb the good overall picture.
Furthermore, a driver CD included missing.
Not everyone is computer-savvy. Therefore 1 star deduction.
