Excellent. Like all DACs, amps, etc. depends on what you connect it to. So far, I've been please with using with stock cable BD DT 880, 250 ohm.

As said by other dude. Great sound for the dollar. Better than other brands I tried from adorama. Yes instructions could be better but I found the website download easy. It has battery so it can go portable. Great fun and dope sound. No regrets.

Got it working through no help of the supplied instruction sheet. I had to go to iFi's complicated webpage to find the download for the Windows/Mac driver to get it working. It wasn't that easy to find the driver through iFi. Then went to third party web page to get tips for best audio driver setup usage using JRiver Media Center. Works and sounds great once it works. You also need to know how to setup the audio via Control Panel if you use Windows 10 or 7.

Experience the power of high-resolution audio with the Nano-iDSD PCM/DSD/DXD Battery Powered USB DAC Portable Decoder. This compact and portable device, weighing only 163g, is a technological marvel, designed to deliver superior sound quality on the go. It's the world's smallest, battery-powered DAC that supports all high-resolution formats: PCM, DSD, and DXD natively.
The Nano-iDSD is equipped with the latest True Native technology from AMR, ensuring the music format remains unchanged for the ultimate audio experience. It supports PCM (32bit/384kHz), DSD256 (11.2MHz), and DXD (384kHz) via Computer or iPhone/iPad/Android, offering an unparalleled audio experience that opens up a new world of high-end audio quality.
This advanced USB DAC is housed in a durable, palm-sized chassis with an onboard lithium-polymer battery and headphone output. It's as extraordinary 'on the go' as it is in a 'high-end system', handling Computers/Smartphones with ease. It even features an SPDIF coax digital output for A/V receivers or similar, offering unrivalled flexibility.
The Nano-iDSD is at the cutting-edge of computer-audio playback. Its focus on portable devices has positioned it at the forefront of the latest audio shift. Coupled with an iPhone/iPad/Android device, it becomes a high-end audio source, able to play all formats stunningly well, from PCM from 16/44kHz all the way up to 32/384kHz, Quad-Speed DSD to 11.2/12.4MHz, and DXD up to 384kHz.
The Nano-iDSD's onboard lithium-polymer battery offers two distinct advantages. First, it allows the device to run on battery power for excellent sonics over generic noisy mains. Second, it powers its powerful 80mW headphone amplifier, offering high-end, portable audio enjoyment.
The Nano-iDSD uses military-grade temperature compensated master clock modules, sourced from the telecommunications industry, to reduce overall digital noise and push jitter to the vanishing point. This results in a smooth, 'analogue' sound that competes with far more expensive DACs.
The Nano-iDSD also features a built-in precision analogue volume control, reflecting its smooth sound. Its digital coax output means it can feed any suitably-equipped coax-DAC such as an A/V Receiver, to play high-end computer audio. This versatility is typical of iFi and offers tremendous longevity and flexibility. Experience the Nano-iDSD PCM/DSD/DXD Battery Powered USB DAC Portable Decoder, small in size but tremendous in technology.
