AvishekPramanikAre you talking about the D50s? Wasn't aware that it uses USB power. By the way, I think you meant *plebeian :p

phoenixsongYep, I was in-fact talking about the D50s. Good catch, I made some edits to make the language a bit clearer.
Thanks! :)

AvishekPramanikA bit is a bit of an understatement- it's clearer than even the performance of the D50s now! Thanks for the clarification :)

AvishekPramanikAs for the USB power, doesn't it also come with a wall wart for power?

BoardThe D50s doesn't come with one. You'll have to supply your own capable of a minimum of DC5V/1A output. If you've got a spare phone charger, it could work.

AvishekPramanikOkay, but at least I could power the D50s with a wall wart if I have one, right?
Of course, if I can power it with a USB cable then that's an option as well.

BoardYea. Some like to get the P50 instead. Think it's personal preference at that point.

BoardI generally use, $49, “ifi iPower” ultra-low noise ac/dc switching power supplies on 5, 9, 12 and 15v DC, a/v electronics. They usually make a noticeable difference in picture and sound quality when used with players, streamers and dacs. I read where they improved streaming quality when used on wireless routers and switches. Make sure to match voltage and ampere requirements. I’ve had good results with lower priced units from Mean Well, Alitove and KFD switching ac/dc power supply adapters in the $12 to $25 price range. YMMV... Cheers!

- OLED display that actually looks pretty good. Paired with a great looking, sturdy shell as well. I'm seriously glad these companies are putting more effort into looks as much as sound.
- Excellent, clean and pristine sound for the money. Very good measurements, as presented by AudioScienceReview.
- The use of a DC cable that terminates to a USB, so that you can run it off a portable battery for example, is a pretty good idea in my opinion. Really enhances it's portability factor. Even if it is primarily meant for the desktop. The power source is separate from the audio signal, so you won't get any interference - something I ran into with my previous Schiit Modi 2.
- Incredible Price to Performance ratio. Seriously, you'd be hard pressed to find an alternative with this much value and sound quality for the price.
The Bad- At this price and form factor? Nothing.
Current setup is paired to a Atom Amp from JDS Labs.
