Got the DTC100 before, which firstly came with the Luna. The DTC500 is a big step up,
especially with more output power for a fair price. The build quality is dunu typical flawless.

Enjoy music

Thank you, guys!! We appreciate the love and look forward to more feedback as more of you start getting units in.

Update on that below.

I am awaiting my unit from Sebastien hehe!!

On that note, we are a bit tight on stock now after the initial batch sold. I currently believe review units will not go out until the 25th. That said, please still message me if you're interested in putting on the review list. I would be happy to consider you!

Listening to my DTC-500 tonight with seeaudio bravery annive. ed. using the balanced 4.4mm port. This dongle Dac has a lot of power. Was listening to Tempotec Sonata E-44 earlier, this DUNU unit has much more power. First impressions are this is a very good dongle DAC, highly resolving, good overall SQ and no hiss. The Dac does run a warm temperature, but it does not get blazing hot to the touch like my FIIO K3 does. My Rig is fairly unique. I am using a Raspberry PI Zero 2w in a flirc case with ROOOPIE as a streamer connected to ROON over wifi. Power is being supllied by XTAR PB25 portable lipo charger. I get 8 to 10 hours of run time using 2 21700 batteries. This rig works well in all the rooms in my house with my wifi. I ordered the DTC-500 from DUNU diirectly on 1 July.

Does this pair well with the Dunu SA6? Or should I just get the DTC-100?

From what I've heard, it does very well with the SA6 and Vulkan.
