Just got in the new drop. What will I need to use with my pixel 3a xl and PS4? Is it plug and play?

i'm skeptical that it'll work with your PS4 as it requires a software from Centrance.

I asked on the website and Mike replied that tho they haven't tested, he thinks it'll work so long as the PS4 supports usb audio- which it does I use other dac amps no problem. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

It largely depends on the brand you use. It can be a hassle and probably no solution.
look out for mobile hubs that accepts extra power supply. It is going to be chunky.

Hi Guys, a quick update on delivery:
There was a mistake with the announcement. We had agreed to supply product to MD on November 22nd, but it was mistakenly announced that it was going to be available earlier. Sorry about the confusion. It's not us.
The good news is we have already sent the goods to MD earlier this week, ahead of our promise.
Fulfillment should start any day now. Hang in there! And another drop probably happening soon. Seems like more people are interested!

Difficult. You have to use something like mobile hubs that accept an extra power supply.

I mean i own both, sound-wise there's barely any difference... even for iems. The dacport hd is a tad warmer... but I'd have to swap back and forth in a moment with the same iem to even tell any difference at all. dacportable is more powerful, so different levels for sure.

Usb C(onfusion) cables have different current ratings. Cheap ones doesn’t really output more than usb 2.0. They are just usb 2.0 with a c connector.
Fast charging phone cables are generally usb 2.0 type c with enhanced current rating from 2A to 5A. If it is only cable related issue, your best bet could be amazon basic ones that can do usb 3.1 (15 bucks, but does 5V/3A).

I have the DACport Slim and I have always liked the sound. I believe the DACport HD has the same chip, AKM4490, but is configured to take full advantage of the capabilities to process higher bitrate PCM and DSD audio. I use my DACport Slim with Mac OS because I have never been able to get it to work with Windows 10. An annoying feature of the Slim is that when the host computer goes to sleep, it "forgets" the connection and the Slim has to be unplugged-replugged to start up again.
Can anyone comment on whether this has been fixed with the HD?

There was a DACPORT SLIM (Massdrop Exclusive) for $99 (discontinued?) but this DACPORT HD is $130.
The two share the same look and dimensions. This is what I will get for extra $31 and it is well worth it. IMHO
DACPORT HD vs DACPORT SLIM ("DACport HD/Slim" PCB printed)
$130 vs $99
Max output level: 4.1 Vrms vs 2.9 Vrms
Max output power: 775 mW vs 450 mW
Max sample rate: 384 kHz vs 192 kHz
Max resolution: 32 bit vs 24 bit
Dynamic range: 112 dB vs 109 dB
THD+N: 0.002% vs 0.003%
Frequency response: 20 Hz - 40 kHz (same for both)
Output Impedance: 1 ohm (same for both)(DACPORT HD was measured by ASR at 1.9 ohm and still very good)
Gain switch: 20 dB between min and max (same for both)
Headphone amp: Class-A with no capacitors in the path (same for both)
NO Battery! (same for both)(This can last with me while I get old)
