What customers say about "Key Specs"

Fiio E07K Andes USB DAC and Portable Headphone Amplifier Black

Note one side of this is an amp and the other a DAC. The DAC translated your music to your headphones. Amp this side just make big sound. Perfect.
Great portable DAC that will work with your smartphone and sound great with a pair of nice headphones, you can't beat this thing for the price.
LOVE THIS AMP! This is seriously a great piece of kit for the money. I use it as a desktop unit at work.
This DAC is worth every penny. It is a serious upgrade to your computers sound card and opens up a whole new world of music.
However there is a big really annoying problem with it. It make a really irritating hissing sound.

Fiio E18 KUNLUN Android Phone USB DAC & AMP

The sound quality is only as good as whatever device you're using, but this presents itself as a USB audio device, and includes a high quality DAC.
Very powerful amp for a portable and good dac too.
Good price/performance here. You can get better USB DACs (which is how I am using it) but you gotta spend a lot more.
I really like this dac/amp, makes the sound so much cleaner, clearer, you get to hear the things that matter, albeit, music or movies.
If the phone is on vibrate, it will often change the setting to turn on the ringer, so my phone will make noise when I get a call/text.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Fiio E07K Andes USB DAC and Portable Headphone Amplifier Black

The Fiio is small and lite, the size of let's say a bit smaller that a box playing cards.
Good sound ,very flexible in its uses. Battery last forever. Perect size for LG phones with power and volume buttons on the back.
The portability is good cause its small and very light weight but I'm not fan of the rubber bands they give you to keep the amp.
This small, portable USB DAC provides a great improvement in sound over the sound card in the computers I use, and for my HTC phone.
The size, although still somewhat small, is larger than I would have liked.

Fiio E18 KUNLUN Android Phone USB DAC & AMP

Perfect size and superb design.male the job very well with phone on the road and pc at work!!!
Small and powerful. The E18 brings power-hungry headphones to life.
Solid construction, nice light weight. Roughly the size of an iPhone 5S. This is good for me. I recommend.
They claim it's portable but I don't agree with that. It's the same size as my S3 and twice as thick.
Lastly, the DAC is not small, big as an HTC One and quite chunky, I would not recommend this to people wanting to use this while they commute.

What customers say about "Features"

Fiio E07K Andes USB DAC and Portable Headphone Amplifier Black

I first listened to Jewel, her new greatest hits in FLAC. The bass was not overwhelming or distorted the highs were crisp not tinny. Beautiful sound.
Movies come to life as this DAC works its magic to make me believe what is happening on screen, magic features.
Works great as a portable DAC on my Macbook Pro. It also works very well with my phone and iPod (yes I still use an iPod).
I have also used the FiiO EO7K via USB on my Windows laptop and with the headphone jack of my iPhone and android tablet. I recommend!
At home I use the Fiio on the PS3 via RCA. On the PS3 it does not send the music or background audio through the USB.

Fiio E18 KUNLUN Android Phone USB DAC & AMP

Works with Android, Linux and windows. Sounds good and even has enough punch to power.
Awesome Design, I cannot attest for the sound quality as it is my first DAC, but it is significantly better than my S5 and PC.
It makes a cleaner sound than the DAC build into my Galaxy Note 5.
The battery is a BIT small, and I wish I could charge it and use it with my phone at the same time but that's not really a con.
USB port is on the bottom, making it difficult to carry in your pocket while in DAC mode. The charge LED lights can be misleading.
