What customers say about "Key Specs"

Mayflower Electronics Objective2 Headphone Amplifier

This amp is outstanding! It is so clear And reproduces music so accurately and without distortion.
Excellent definition and naturalness. Much fuller sound than just using a DAC.
I really like this amp/dac for the value it does a great job of powering my hd 6xx headphones.
Sounds great. Very crisp and clear audio. Highly recommend.
It is a very good production. It has very low noise (can't heard), very low distortion, flat frequency response.

Avantree DAC02 Digital to Analog Audio Converter

The Avantree DAC does a great job. Sound quality is very important to me.
I am able to hook up my bluetooth speaker to my flatscreen TV, and the sound is clean and in stereo on most stations.
It sounds great, no distortion, and it's compatible with every device I've tried (coaxial and optical).
No lag/delay in audio voice, great sound low or at Max, and being able to turn it down at all is a plus too!
The sound quality is bad with hiss and background noise.

Mayflower Electronics Objective2 Headphone Amplifier

This is a nice little amp! Easily connects to DAC and taking low space.
I love this little amp. It doesn't distort sound at all and has zero hiss.
The unit looking great. It is very small and compact. Easy to hide it on the desk.
This little, simple in use amp runs everything i can throw at it.
Its smaller sizes than my other similar products, provide sufficient power for most IEMs/headphones.

I also like its small size. I can tuck it out of sight.
Using this little DAC as an interface between a TV with optical output and a small amplifier with only RCA inputs fits my requirement perfectly.
I like this little box a lot and I hope it proves to be reliable.
This little box did the trick plus it is power by a USB plug and the new TV had USB ports on the back.
Great little piece of kit that allowed me to reorganize my A/V set up for the better.

What customers say about "Features"

Mayflower Electronics Objective2 Headphone Amplifier

I have endless audio files on my computer, so I plug the Signstek DAC into the desktop, then into the O2 amplifier, and the sound is excellent.
I paired it with a evergreen 3.5mm cable and my hd650 and the sound quality was amazing.
Unit is very easy to use. There no unnecessary inputs. Just all that I need.
O2 can be used both in desktop mode and portable mode. This is useful when you want to carry your music around.
The only thing i wish this had was RCA Ports in the back. Honestly i thought this came with that option.

Avantree DAC02 Digital to Analog Audio Converter

The sound quality is excellent, and the separate volume control on the Avantree is a good feature to have.
Very happy with this DAC unit , its a very well designed unit and all the needed cables were provided.
Volume control was a really nice plus, as the full output from my TV via the digital output was louder than I would like.
The volume control on the DAC made it easy to dial down the sound level to the headphones to an enjoyable level.
Very hard to use and understand. Bad feature set.
