Quality
The amount you pay for this DAC is absolutely worth it. I'm using it with my PC, and I also have a Fiio KA13. It provides 32-bit 48000Hz audio output, and it's really good. I'm connecting it via a USB-C port and one extension cable (AGARO 3.5mm Aux Male to Female Extension Cable, Gold Plated). There’s no audio loss whatsoever.
The only minor issue is when you use it with a mobile device — the blue light can be a bit annoying. However, that's more of a personal preference. It also makes some noise with certain songs, but that's actually a known issue with the CS46L41 chip. There's no need to worry though; unless you've used a high-end DAC before, this will be more than enough for you.

Excellent sound quality
After searching internet found this dac which has multiple input options and support 165*2 watts passive speakers and 350 watt passive subwoofer for future extension, tested with all input modes, bluetooth input feels a bit of low quality as it only supports sbc and aac codecs only, however if you want to use mobile via wired, alternative option is to use audiocular d08 cs-pro usb-c to 3.5 mm and 3.5 mm to rca input (cable creation brand). Optical input mode supports PCM (loss less stereo output) and Digital compress audio multichannel only) these are specific to Sony X-80J 65 inches
Thanks a lot Pritam Ji for suggesting me to use a balanced cable with my Moondrop Aria IEMs and thanks a lot for ordering Moondrop Aria filters for me. The Audio Store goes out of the way to serve Indian audiophile community.
The way my IEMs sound with a balanced cable and Shanling UA2 Plus DAC & Amp are unprecedented!
I am grateful Pritam Ji. 🙏🏻
The empathetic support that I got (as a budding audiophile) from Pritam Ji at The Audio Store is unparalleled. I am grateful Pritam Ji. 🙏🏻
Just bought it and started using it with my IFI Zen Stack - feels awesome.
This was a natural pick for me, since I wanted to have a completely balanced setup for my HiFiMan Sundara.
Nothing much to add, if you want an optimal balanced setup without spending too much, then look no further.
Thanks AudioStore for being blazing fast with your delivery. I got it withing 48 hours of placing my order! Kudos.
