Douk Audio DAC-Q11 HiFi USB DAC

Choosing the right DAC for your listening setup can be a bit of a delicate dance—which is why Douk Audio is here with the DAC-Q11 and its dual-chip infrastructure to give you a few options on tap. Inside the Q11, you’ll find not one but two DAC chips running the show—and you can actively switch between them to focus on whatever you’re looking for. Go with the ESS9038Q2M for excellent dynamic response and liveliness, or opt for the AK4493 for a balanced, nuanced approach. Both are supported through optical, coaxial, or USB inputs, so you have versatility for your source device; and thanks to dual sets of RCA and aux outputs, there’s even flexibility on what you send out to your amp and speaker setup. The whole package sits in a beautifully designed CNC’d enclosure with a bright, vibrant OLED screen to indicate your mode and your output characteristics.
