This amazingly compact, high performance and USB powered (by mobile phones, including iPhone directly) DAC and headphone amp is now available for purchase as a circuit board for DIY projects.
Many low cost portable DACs can only decode up to 24-bit/96kHz PCM and do not support DSD decoding. The ENCORE mDSD is capable of decoding sample rates ranging from 44.1kHz to 384kHz (PCM) as well as native DSD decoding ranging from DSD 64 up to DSD 256, making it the most capable USB-powered portable DAC on the market today!
