Odd, a lot of people have said that the DAC/Amp had issues with sound and with built quality. I have a Moto X Pure and am using Sennheiser HD598s with them. So far, the DAC/Amp is really small so I've been handling it slowly and carefully, I think a reason why it breaks on people is because the micro-USB and the headphone jack are on opposite corners so pulling out the headphone quickly could deteriorate the product...which is actually bad on SMSL's part but mine is doing fine. As far as audio, I wasn't expecting a huge jump in quality but the little thing does well. Compared to the Moto's normal output, the DAC/Amp is considerably louder, where 70% volume would equal 50% volume on the DAC/Amp. I do feel that the audio itself is sharper since I listen to electro music and the notes seem to end much sharper than before (I tested it on songs I know by heart: Tiny Cities - Flume & Say My Name - ODEZSA). It's fine for what I paid. Posting this to show not everyone had a bad time with the SMSL Ivy.
