Handling audio conversion and amplification with powerful components and a fully balanced circuit, the XA-10 DAC/amp from xDuoo is a hi-fi foundation fit for any setup. Dual AK4493EQ DAC chips take care of digital-to-audio conversion, enabling the XA-10 to support PCM 32-bit, 768 kilohertz, DSD 512, and full MQA decoding Read More
I was sorry to see it got a very disappointing "could not recommend" from Audio Science Review. Conclusions:
"Ah, what a missed opportunity! Nice design/looks damaged by usability, performance and potential bugs. I had such high hopes for the XA-10 but at the end, it was a real let down. Hopefully they can spin a version 2 that does justice to the form factor. For now, the design choices such as digital volume control, "class A" discrete amp, etc. is coming to hound this unit.
It is with some sadness that I cannot recommend the xDuoo XA-10. Subjective performance is likely fine but there are other choices where you get that, plus excellent objective results and no usability issues."
I was initially interested in it, but not now.
This looks to be an amazing price for this DAC/AMP. I want to get one but money is tight. I just recently bought an Ecler Nuo 2.0 DJ mixer w/ Eternal fader and Reloop Flux Serato DJ interface. Ya boy on broke time LOL!
Headfonics review of the XA-10
https://headfonics.com/xduoo-xa-10-review/
"The xDuoo XA-10 is an all-in-one unit that crammed everything into a small device. It has a very capable DAC with MQA full decoding capability, with a warm tonality and an energetic sense of attack."
DetonNationXduoo XA10 is a good sounding product with dual AKM chips and class A amplification. Soundnews has a review of this in youtube. Measurements are not everything. Many acclaimed dacs/amps were poorly rated according to the sinad measuremnts in ASR. Schiit bifrost 2, asgard3, modi multibit, fiio kj5 pro, ifi idsd blacklabel, earmen tr amp etc are few examples. There is also a good video on sinad by Andrew from 'The Headphone Show'
