#Don earman portable#
The EarMen claim that the Donald DAC is a portable DAC, and portable it is. Please let me know if you find a USB-A to USB-C cable with no explanation as to how it got there – it may very well be mine. Or perhaps the cable fell victim to my chronic tendency to misplace things. Perhaps that’s because I received a review unit. I’m 95% sure my unit didn’t come with a USB cable, especially because I started using it immediately after opening the box. In other words, the Donald DAC faces stiff competition. While high-end audiophile DACs can go for thousands of dollars, we’re at the point in history where you can already get quite a good one for under $100.
It’s the device that takes in a digital signal from your music files and spits out the audio signal that your headphone’s transducer will vibrate in sync with in order to produce music.Īt $99, the Donald DAC finds itself in the midst of a bloodthirsty competition. If you’re not familiar, DAC stands for Digital-(to)-Analog Converter. But it does give me an excuse to haul out the most detailed pair of headphones I can get my hands on (the HD800S) and do some extended listening sessions. Finally, I get to review a DAC! That’s not to say this is an easy review to do – when you’re not equipped with state-of-the-art measuring technology, it’s actually fairly difficult to review a DAC. In the midst of my endless quest to listen to all the budget earphones, I’ve been handed some relief in the form of the EarMen Donald DAC.
