Works fine

Works fine. Competition has more features, but sound quality is still relevant.

Such a big difference

When I listen to my playlist, it’s like I’m hearing the song for the first time. The clarity is that good.

Been using for almost 2 years without issue. Gives a noticable improvement to every set of headphones and IEMs I've used with it, especially once the EQ is adjusted. I probably would have sold my set of T4's without it. The built in mic comes in really handy at work because I can use any headphones to take calls with it clipped to my shirt. With the balance output it can power a set of HD 6xx's!

Great little device. Wished it was USB-C, but with what it brings to the table, I can't really complain.

Excellent really packs a punch for its size.

Been using for almost a year now and love it so far, works great with my blons and Hyperx Clouds.

Not worth the trouble.

So many glowing reviews of this product. It's handy, I suppose. Not a huge drain on battery to do Bluetooth to this device (except if you forget to turn off BT later), but the sound quality is mediocre. It makes the whole thing much much lower volume, and both my Onkyo and Grado IEMs sound much better straight from the iPhone DAC. Waste of money.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT AS YOU WILL NOT GET IT

IshantyIt’s not the first time I’ve ordered from drop what I did not like is they mark it as delivered when it has never got here. Other stuff I ordered after that have arrived.please don’t insult me

IshantyI've bought a few things from drop, and as stated, they are not Amazon. You may end up waiting for a while to get your goods, but at $80, it's $30 less than I paid to get this from Amazon US (in Germany, as they only listed the Mk1, not the Mk2) I had to walk a long way to get to a USPS packet drop, but the device itself is worth the wait and the hassle, even paying $30 more. It is my daily driver and has been for about a year. If you're only complaint is you want it quicker, then pay more at Amazon. Millions do.

Very powerful for such a little device.

Great sound and great power, especially for something so small. Rivals my standalone desktop headphone amp. Due to sufficient power, the bass really slams when hooked up to my HD 58X's and the soundstage expands, both signs of good amp and good power. I also got it with the ear buds they were upselling it with. Not overly impressed with the ear buds, but the dac/amp itself is excellent. UPDATE: Now that I've had this a little longer, just wanted to update my review. This thing is still freakin awesome. Sound is incredible, and a bit more "musical" than my desktop setup (laptop, SMSL DAC, Drop THX Amp) which also sounds incredible but has a bit more of an "analytical" sound. When I hook the ES100 directly to my phone (as opposed to LDAC Bluetooth), and use IEMs, it sounds just as good, if not somewhat better (due to more "musical" vs more "analytical") as my many times more expensive desktop setup. Just make sure you have the right music player software that outputs in true Hi-Res (I use the Sony Music Center app, but there are others). I know, technically, I'm not supposed to hear the difference between LDAC Bluetooth and direct connection, but I swear I do, although could just be in my head. But sounds great either way. Obviosly, it's not going to drive some hard to drive planars (I have my desktop setup for that), but it drives pretty much everything else I've thrown at it with ease. Highly recommend.
