One of best Dac in upper mid range category, it has most powerful Sgm8262 amp along with Cs43131 successor dac. The Aura seamlessly connects with my iPhone 15 and my window Laptop. Sound quality omg what a mind boggling Sound I am getting through this with MoondropNice earphone. That's exceptional. Somehow it has connections issues with My oneplus nord 4 due to oxygenOS 15. May be it will sort out after oxygen OS updates.
ThanksAudiocular team .
It's a great value product. The DAC and AMP can be used with my mobile phone and laptop. The amazing thing is that it retains the equalizer settings in the DAC and AMP device itself, which is very handy.
The shopping experience was great as is the product
Really happy with this portable DAC. It brings out the vocals beautifully and makes listening to my favorite artists a whole new experience. Loving it so far!
Able to drive even 40mm drivers with good power
Very nice product very
Fast delivery & Nice the audio store
Its a very good Amp/dac
This dac sounds soo good and at this price im surprised...
It you are new to audiophile you may hear very little difference between entry level(like audiocular beam, spark qnd such under 1k dac) and this...
Where it shines is when you heart at 80%vol(which is like 100% on other entry lvl dacs) you hear very clean sound not smeared which is the problems with entry lvl dacs and also very detailed and multilayered music like symphoney, edm, pystrance and such you hear notes clearly so it reveals some details that you may have never heard.
Strong cable like audiocular beam, cavlar braided.
With advantage of pause and play button on dac.
AUDIO QUALITY is very higher within that price.
its support all types of devices, like ios, Bravia TV, Android, pc , laptop. etc.
Excellent at this price .. Superb clarity .This made my mobile go Hi Res very easily.
Powerful and neutral sound with lots of functionality in the app like digital fingers, peq, gain, supports mic and you can change the gain etc along with the amp mode (ab or h). Although u have to create an account but no biggie.
It's characteristically neutral like other Cirrus dacs and has great extension. I just foundit lacking a little in imaging and stereo separation but even so barely. It's great value for the price especially for eq. I'd recommend this any day over the fiio ja11 if cheap eq is what ur after.

Pairing this Harman Target Version with a Samsung A17 playing Apple Music and FLAC files and Fiio X1 DAP as a secondary source with FLAC files. When tuned to give preference to Mids as i prefer to hear the voices more than anything else, this comes out as a sweet sounding combination and tracks like Racy Chapmans Fast Car and Massive Attacks Teardrop shine beautifully. The Castor Pros are best listened at about 40% volume and and infact they do actually sound amazing at a high volume for bass heavy tracks such as EDM but for Trance and Rock the cymbals and snare drums sound better at 40%. This pair of iems and the combo sounds like money well spent so far and next i want to try analytical IEMs like the 7Hz. Thanks to the Audio Store for the rushed delivery.
Great purchase... excellent product
Good Product as expected
Worth every penny! This is not for bassheads as it lacks just a bit on the bass department, but the separation is awesome and the sound stage is also huge. Awesome for gaming as well! (Apex Legends, Arc Raiders, PUBG)
This is the replacement for my purchase of moon drop dsp chu2 which I bought in aug 2025 i don't know how it got damaged from last it stopped working on left side buds and after a few days mic also stopped working and i forgot to claim the warranty for it . So find this spare cable very helpful since I love these IEMS for real Tq AUDIO STORETEAM FOR THE smooth delivery
Great job on packing of the product. As a gamer I can say that, for fps games like PUBG , CS2 etc., Castor Pro is the best in under ₹2000
I recently bought this and am incredibly impressed with it. The build quality feels solid and premium right out of the box.
When it comes to performance, the amplification is fantastic—it delivers a clear, noticeable boost to the audio power and volume without sacrificing clarity. It is also incredibly easy to use; completely plug-and-play with zero hassle.
An awesome bonus is the inclusion of the Type-A to Type-C dongle/adapter. It makes it incredibly versatile to connect to different devices right away without needing to buy extra accessories.
Overall, it's a great purchase and definitely worth the money. If you are on the fence, just get it!
As an all rounder it fits my taste quite well,the only problem it really has is the male vocals being a bit recessed (not terribly recessed if you use vocal eartips),they are a tad bit overpriced seemingly,divine planar might be better,but for people looking for a fun entry into iem's,it's worth the price (some people say it's included DAC isn't enough,it works well enough as a temporary solution,yet to test if a dac makes a big difference or not).
Unsure if this is how most iem's are but the cable felt a tad bit short.
I had never used an IEM before, so this was my very first experience and I was genuinely impressed. As someone who loves music, I can confidently say this is one of the best investments you can make for audio quality. The sound is exceptional and absolutely worth the price.
To get the best possible audio experience, I would also recommend pairing it with a good-quality DAC, as it significantly enhances the overall output. ....
This is the most balanced sounding IEM I've used in this price. I am using the Type C variant, and I haven't experienced any issue regarding the playback whatsoever. It is equipped with the DAC chip CX31993, which is found on the dedicated DACs around the price of 1K. The cable is also a 4-core silver plated copper one, with really nice build quality. These are also really responsive to EQ Settings, tweaking the audio balance using a 10 or 31 band EQ makes the experience even more versatile.
The only cons I have noticed are regarding the in-box ear tips, I didn't find them to be very comfortable, so I had switch them with some other ear tips. Although, the metal built of the IEMs give them a really premium feeling, the glossy surface is extremely prone to scratches and they still get scratched even after using cautiously.
It is good but could be a bit sharp sometimes may be balanced by EQ. But one problem in my type C unit, after 3 days it stop sound out of nowhere, while listening music, or watching movie/yt. Have to plug out plug in to get the audio back.
This is a magical DAC, I don’t believe ki isne mere headphones main jaan daal di ho
Really the quality of aurora ultra is out of the box , literally if you never use an iem and experience first time you feel actual music. Aurora ultra give life best experience.
This is only possible because of the audio that my first experience and the audio store surve there best to just create my best experience thanks a lot for protective, timely delivery and
Again thanks for giving that service and seamless experience to the team
