Great Sound Quality and Durability in a Compact DAC Adapter
The Alpha & Delta MK2 USB-C and Lightning DAC adapters are an excellent choice for those looking to improve audio quality on modern smartphones and tablets without a headphone jack. Featuring an upgraded Realtek chip for higher bit-depth and sampling rates, these adapters provide rich, clear sound. The durable braided silver-plated copper cable ensures long-lasting performance and optimal signal transmission. At a reasonable price, they offer great value for audiophiles who need a reliable solution for wired headphones.
At first, this adapter blew me away; I'd tried several others, most of which had decent audio quality but would frequently exhibit this metallic feedback that made extended listening or dead air particularly awkward; these did NONE of that. Crystal-clear, no dip in quality, a genuinely amazing experience all around...
...while it lasted. Last night, maybe two months in, it crapped out. Left side doesn't work, right side has that familiar feedback. Triple checked with other devices to make sure it wasn't my IEMs' cable. No sign of any physical damage. Huge bummer.
Great while they lasted, but at 35 bucks after tax, I expect a product that's gonna last more than two months of casual listening.
A very good purchase, makes my music crispy
Edit: this thing is very sensitive and disconnects if I tap it. It needs more pins or something because of even a little bit of dust comes in then it fails
Edit 2: Now any little bump causes my music to stop playing. I cant recommend this
I lost my first one a few years ago and finally decided to buy another one. I don't remember it coming with the pouch last time so that's a great addition. The braided cable is very flexible and build quality seems pretty good. I have no problem driving 250ohm DT770s with this adapter.
