Is the ZuperDAC's USB input asynchronous?
I saw this on massdrop today, but is it any good for low impedence phones?
Wow, it's back on Massdrop already. I just received mine last week and I'm using it with my iPhone 7.
My primary IEM is L Z -A 4 which is a triple highbred with the dynamic driver into balanced armature. I know there was some concern regarding the output impedance but so far it sounds similar in quality to the E 17 K from FiiO.
I think it gives a nice low-volume floor.
I do not like high volumes for my music. I find I get a nice volume at 45% on the iPhone 7 and I suspect for many users they would probably have to be between 60 and 80%
The unit does get slightly warm when in use. I do find however when streaming music that it uses my battery a little faster than expected. I know some of the reviews indicated it drops about 8% and hour but I have found it's more like 15% With my usage.
However this may due to the fact that I'm using my phone, reading a book or surfing the web at the same time
I do believe it is better than the included Apple-3.5 mm dongle included with the iPhone 7
I think it is fairly priced and seems to be of good quality
I need more listening time to decide how it affects the sound signature
I do not own any android devices. I have not used it with my MacBook Pro yet
Is this the best bang for buck dac+amp which can be used on both windows + Android.
Yeah, I 1st thought of getting k1, then I heard it's not that good with android. Then I thought of getting fiio q1. But now I feel zuperdac is pretty good especially because of the Dac used in it (same as oppo-know implementation matter more). But my doubts is whether zuperdac is 40$ and q1 30$ better than k1?This has mixed reviews honestly. I have the FiiO K1 I think its a more solid option.

Really, from reading reviews the K1 seems to have a lot more mixed reviews than the Zorloo. Unfortunately I've never heard the K1 but I'd be extremely surprised if any $40 DAC outperform the Zorloo. Obviously YMMV.....
