Our verdict

A tiny hi-res player and USB DAC with dual DAC chips, real power for headphones and two-way LDAC Bluetooth. It has no built-in storage, and the balanced output needs an adapter sold separately.

Overview

Twin Cirrus Logic DAC chips decode music up to high sample rates inside a body small enough to clip to a shirt. It plays files from a microSD card, streams to Bluetooth headphones over LDAC, and can act as a USB DAC for a phone or computer.

Real headphone power and dual DACs in a matchbox size make it a pocket upgrade over a phone headphone jack. Storage comes only from a microSD card you supply.

Who it's for

Commuters, gym goers and language learners using AB repeat get a tiny, capable player. Listeners who stream from apps on their phone will not use its local playback.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very small and light
  • Dual DAC chips
  • Works as a USB DAC
  • LDAC both ways
Cons
  • MicroSD card not included
  • Balanced adapter sold separately

Performance notes

Sound quality comes from the dual DAC chips and an amplifier stage strong enough for many wired headphones from the single-ended jack. Balanced mode adds more power through an adapter, while LDAC holds Bluetooth quality high in both directions.
