Description
Now, movies and games have never sounded better. The Xduoo XD-05 Basic takes audio to the next level for a realistic and exciting experience. It is packed with features that'll keep you up to watch just 'one more' episode or play 'just another' level.
Bring Home the Cinematic Experience
Turn your room into a cinema hall or professional gaming set-up with the Xduoo XD-05 Basic. This DAC/Amp plays high-quality video and game audio to take your experience to the next level. The professional digital and analogue circuits give you a surround sound effect on speakers as well as headphones. It is compatible with desktops, PS4, Xbox, tablets and other smart devices and gaming platforms.
Play High-Quality Audio Always
The Xduoo XD-05 Basic uses an ESS9018K2M DAC that supports a sample rate of up to PCM 32-bit/384kHz and up to DSD256 playback. The best part? This DAC/Amp can extensively optimise low bit-rate files to upgrade them to 48KHz/96KHz/192KHz with its SRC function.
Works with All Kinds of Headphones
Drive power-hungry headphones as well as sensitive IEMs with the OP+ClassA amplifier circuit. With its ability to drive headphones between 16Ω-600Ω, it's highly popular among audiophiles. To further optimise the audio playback, the output uses an on-demand system that reduces distortion and background noise even at high volumes. You can even replace the operational amplifier to tweak the sound quality.
Take Your Entertainment to the Next Level
The Xduoo XD-05 Basic offers 4 PCM digital recorders and 3 DSD digital filters to play different sound effects, including warmth, transparency and detail. The hardware-accelerated bass switch adds that necessary low-end delight that makes video games and movies sound all the more power-packed.
Designed for Binge-Watchers
While the Xduoo XD-05 Basic can be easily plugged into an external power supply like a USB charger or power bank, the built-in 3.7V/4000mAh battery runs for up to 9 hours on a single charge. The volume knob comes with a backlight that shows the battery status, even in dim light. The 0.91-inch OLED display shows other details, including the sampling rate, power, DAC filter status and input interface clearly.

Customer Reviews
xDuoo devices have always been different from the herd and the XD-05 is no different. I simply love the fact that you can roll op-amps with this one! Aand it's real easy (multiple videos of YouTube). Right out of the box - switched the op-amp that comes with the device for a Burson v5i. And boy oh boy - this punches waaay above its price now. Both with headphones and with speaker amps. Also love the fact that the 3.5mm port can be used both as Line-In and Line-Out. Can't remember another device that can do this. And to have COAX and Optical support in such a form factor - wow! Overall - I don't think there is any other device that delivers so much performance and so many features at this price. Truly - a hidden gem.
I'm in no way an expert audiophile component reviewer, but the XD05 is definitely one of the best amp/dacs I've used to date. I have a TempoTec Sonata HD but I feel that is an unfair comparison. This thing is miles ahead but yes, costs more than twice the cash too. I currently use this on my computer with my Tin Audio T2 Plus and my Sennheiser 599 SE. It sounds so deep and roomy it feels like I'm listening to them for the first time again! The only con I had with this is that there is no setting to switch power/usb connection to one port like a few other portable amp/dacs. Apart from that, stellar in every sense of the word.
I'd definitely urge anyone reading this who is also starting out on their journey to better audio like me to give this a look.
Finally, props to The Audio Store team - I was skeptical of the next-day delivery. But I did get it! Much quicker than their rivals in this space.
Pros: A economical Amplifier +DAC with volume control
Cons: Bulky and get heated up
I purchased this to pair with the Hifiman He400se. It powers it perfectly well.
Considering the 500mw @32ohm power rating, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for raw power in transportable unit.
First of all, a big thanks to theaudiostore.in guys, they are very helpful and I always get my shipment the next day, super fast shipping :) 🚀
I'd used Schiit multibit's ... yes two of them in a row. Those were just DACs with no headphone amp and no preamp and had only USB input. That was at an insane 25k price and I really found that overpriced in today's competition.
Then I bought Maverick Audio D2, which was my first Tube DAC and I was so impressed by the tube's signature. For the last 2 years, I've been using Fiio K3 and it's a great DAC..then I had my eyes on Xduoo XDO5 Basic and finally bought it, just because it's bundled with a lot of features and ample inputs for your source.
Wanted to go for the PLUS version but it seems like out of my budget and so I bought the BASIC variant finally :)
I found my money invested well. The DAC is a very sturdy build, solid RED knob worked for gain and on/off switch. The .91" OLED screen is super crisp that show you lots of live sample rate you are listening at, shows you the battery state and what input you are using.
At the back, it has USB in / optical in / aux in and line out for a lot of choices you can use.
It has ESS Sabre chip ES9018K2M which is slightly bright and ESS are known for little bright signature but that doesn't harsh to your ears, instrument separation is very good, has a deep bass.
Quite good wide sound stage. AMP is an added advantage for high impedance headphones like Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro.
Has a 4000mAH lithium-polymer battery that gives you 9/12/16 hours of backup depending on what input you are using. Can be charged in 4 hours by a good adapter and take 11 hours when you charge it via PC.
Overall I really recommend this DAC..budget-friendly, good and wide sound stage, solid build :)
I was on the lookout for a portable DAC/AMP for my phone and DAP; that I could carry around and use in my home as an alternative to my Schiit stack. Most of the promising performers like Hidizs S9 and Lotoo PAW; cost almost the same as XD-05 while offering lesser power and features. While I do not prioritize portability the most, XD-05 came through the foremost choice. It does justice to my K712 Pro and brings life to all of my IEMs.
The battery is solid, lasts a good day of constant usage. Overnight charging and good to go in the morning. Their 3 inputs, I used the Analog input the most; sadly the package doesn't include a 3.5 mm Jack to Jack; which otherwise is quite nice.
When connected to a PC, I could simultaneously charge and use it as DAC/AMP, which highlights the versatility of this device. The device can upsample audio files to a 48, 96 or 192 kHz; through the SRC button. I didn't find Filters to be game-changing and introduce very minor sonic nuances, I could detect when plugged to my full-sized headphone.
The front panel switches are very delicate looking but offer a good tactile feel when used. The bass boost only up-shelves frequency below 400 Hz, which is appreciated. The gain switches are having 3 modes, the first two offer not much gain while the 3rd one does a lot. The volume button is has a slight resistance to it, which is satisfying to use. The backlight is a nice touch and can be switched off.
No complaints whatsoever. This is much better than those USB DAC/AMPs which I originally intended to buy. Though this is not pocketable like the USB DAC/AMPs, it can be carried around in a bag and used in-flight/train. There are openings in the grill so I suggest carrying the device in a pouch/sleeve.
As for TheAudioStore, they packed the device well, and I received it within 72 hours of ordering. Kudos to the Team!

Recently launched ie 200 from sennheiser is a pure sounding delight. It lives up to its reputation, that being said it’s a king in its segment, The sound signature is balanced & non fatiguing, The fit & seal is perfect,
I feel lucky having purchased this .
Sennheiser had done a wonderful job in tuning the sound.
It performs well & even outclasses some higher priced iems,
Thanks to the audio store for quick shipping & prompt service
Definitely recommended 👍
What to say about this earphone I think it is one of the highly recommended earphones for its price and performance. Soundstage is best I have heard.
Bass and Treble are at par excellence while listening to music.
Comparison with IE300 or IE600 is not fair as these tuned differently so my take is that IE200 is worth purchase if any want to put it on.
Conclusion: My writing above is based on after eartips I changed with AZLA black Large according to my fit. But what I found with original tips one has to fight to get a proper fit. Not so good with original eartips. But it does not mean that IE200 is bad, it is worth as above said. Try aftermarket eartips and also try IE200 with balanced output with adapters like 4.4 mm to 3.5 mm available in The Audio Store, one will get enjoyable sound with the adapters.
cp145 eartips are soft and comfortable . No more ear fatigue when used for prolong time with these eartips. Enhancement of bass is clearly noticeable .
Sennheiser IE 200
This is my review of IE 200 Already listened to all IE Series IEMs 300 & 600 at the audio store. Personally, I owned IE 900 for my regular music sessions.
IE 200 is the perfect gem IEM for the price bracket of 150$ and even more in my viewpoint let's discuss it.
Comfort: IE 200 comfort level is the same as all IE Series high end of 300,600 & 900. Thanks to the R&D Team of Sennheiser for making the IE series more comfortable than ever given by other IEMs.
Accessories Quality: The packing was fantastic as all IE Series have and felt WoW! after seeing upgradeable cable with tangle free better than all cables of IE Series. There were all forms of ear tips with great quality as the usual stuff.
The most upgrade thing found in the overall box is the Cable wire. Top-notch quality for the given price bracket.
The most impressive part of IE 200 is the separation of left and right channels. Any track you play is going to divide the instrumental separation on top-notch. Never listened to any IEMs in this price bracket that had that level of separation.
The sound stage: was enough for this IE 200 to drive that enjoyable wide sound keeping the price in mind. All IE series Vocals will be perfect and the same IE 200 also had the same in delivering.
BASS: Fantastic! Mindblowing! Extraordinary Dont know what word needs to use. It's pure, Instant, and, loveable. Really can't express it in words but truly love the bass in IE 200. Become a fan of this bass.
Treble: As I know many IEMs will have issues with treble but Sennheiser has done a great job here too. It's on the spot not going up and down but perfect.
Conclusion: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Blindly open your wallet for IE 200 this is not going to make your expectations down. it's full meals you have everything to taste. It's very hard for any company to deliver everything in one IEM for a small price. Kudos to Sennheiser and the team for coming up with IE 200 Series.
It's actually a risk for any company to launch an IEM to have all flavors at one price because other line series will get affected but here it was very clear Senhisher wants to deliver top-graded sound for all consumers to enjoy Audiophile sound at a small cost.
They achieved what they expected their consumers to feel on the sound side and quality side.
Comparison with IE 200 VS IE 600:
IE 200 is perfect but when you compare it with IE 600 there will be obvious little changes the price of both IEMs needs to keep in mind.
Vocals are a little backward compared with IE 600.
Treble is fantastic at IE 200 compare with IE 600.
Bass is awesome at IE 200 compared with IE 600. The soundstage is better in IE 600 than in IE 200.
Separation part little high at IE 600 but mostly you won't get feel much difference. Until you feel like comparing.
My personal recommendation is to pick IE 200 and if any thoughts to upgrade in the IE series in near future directly jump for IE 900 series. Then only you feel like perfect upgraded sound in all aspects too.
Good
It is comfortable
Perfect for beginners who don't have headphones jacks in their phone. I've been using it with my CCA CRA's and it's going great. Noticed a significant improvement in quality when compared to the generic dac that I got with my phone.
I was bit skeptical ordering from here, but I was satisfied with the end result.
I have also made a detailed video about the iem on YouTube you could check it out for more detailed review.
Disclaimer :- bought the iem with my own money and no one had paid me to influence my thought on this iem. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Pro :-
1. Great overall abilities for all songs, I personally listen to many genres
2. Very very comfortable I can wear them for hours
3. Nice cable supplied with many terminations. (Although it has some caveats mentioned in the cons section)
4. Can be played via your phones 3.5mm jack (and I am not talking about LG phones here, just some normal budget phone)
5. In some dynamic songs, its very enjoyable to listen too nothing stands out as abnormal and you just enjoy the experience. Which IMO is a big deal rather than all the nitpicks.
Cons :-
1. The cable is quite stiff, I like a bit of a supple cable.
2. The chin slider is absolutely useless and I have to shove a piece of plastic to make it work.
3.Some male vocals specially the ones with a heavy tone sounds distant in their songs.
4. The stock tips that are applied do not use them, use the white straight bore tips supplied in the box for best result. The stock tips makes it too bassy and the soundstage is quite cramped too.
5. The box although good looking and better than the original timeless I suggest buying a cheap SACO case from Amazon for the best result. As those cases are slim and you can chuck your Bluetooth dongle and normal dongle with the iem and have a good portable setup.
I hope this small pros and cons helped your decision a bit.
6. A $31 ($281 in india vs the $260 ordered from china) price bump over the original price. Now I do understand that they have to make profit and import taxes and stuff. But this is what bothered me a bit. This could be considered a nitpick for some or a convinience for some (because you dont deal with hassle of long deliveries + a warranty form audio store + worrying about import taxes + ). I leave this point Upto the reader and how they feel like.
For detailed version you can have a look at my video I made on YouTube.
Overall :- I do suggest giving this iem a go for the price. But do change the tips supplied from the factory to the straight white tips for better bass, mids, treble and soundstage.
Tempotec v6 is a very good dAP , I’m surprised how well they sound given the price tag, The sound is silky smooth & non fatiguing, it’s got all the bells and whistles,
Thanks to mr: Pritam for suggesting this gem.
Shipping was spot on
Definitely recommended 👍
Very well balanced IEM with fun sound and good synergy with my LG v60. Thx Audio Store for super speed delivery as well..
Good product and great delivery
A simple but effective setup for my current evenings- my trusty iphone, a Hidizs OTG adapter, the VE Abigail, and my current favorite the Ety ER2XR.
The Etymotic ER2XR: it is a brilliant IEM! Insane value for money. I'm hearing sounds I've never heard in my songs before. It's such a clean and balanced sound but fun at the same time which I guess is due to the XR (extended response)! Trust me, you gotta hear it to understand. Clear sound, analytical sound, flat sound, cohesive sound, non-sibilant sound, fatigue-free sound, engaging sound, fun sound, head-bobbing sound, body-moving sound! My definition of 'clean and fun sound' has changed after listening to this! This is a kind of clean that one should hear to understand.
Regd. the well-known or sometimes infamous Etymotic fit- fortunately, it was fine for me with the stock double-flange eartip (M size). But I got the SpinFit CP240 double-flange eartips (M size) anyways, and the fit has now become super comfortable. No issues whatsoever! Zero. Nada. In fact, the seal this ear tip and IEM combo gives is something I've never experienced before! This ER2XR + CP240 experience has changed me or even spoilt me in ways I never expected.
I also want to add that I am so impressed with SpinFit ear tips that I have them on all my 7 IEMs now - 64 Audio Trio, Thieaudio Monarch MKII, CA Solaris OG, Fiio FH3, Etymotic ER2XR, Tin Hifi T3+, and Final E3000. I firmly believe that this is a small investment with significant overall returns in terms of fit, comfort, sound quality, and listening pleasure.
While some of the other SpinFits I own have changed the sound signature for the better (e.g. W1, CP100+, CP100) the CP240 has not done much on the sound signature for me. But this CP240 has noticeably improved the fit and comfort with the Etymotic ER2XR; and for these alone, it's absolutely worth it!
Used for connecting to an USB DAC. Make sure that the USB port on the DAC matches to the usb end of this cable .
Great IEM earphones excellent sound quality, fit the ear, but i can say one word awesome....
Very Useful Product for USB C easily connect headphone for the music listener.
