scobbi Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Just grabbed a couple. For usd 19.90 delivered why not !!!!!! Will only use on laptop probably but am interested to see everyones replys as to how these things rate. I just bought my first little amp ( Fiio e10k ) to go with some new Hifiman 400i's ( just starting out in headphones ) so will wait to see how this bitstream compares. Im sure if the bitstream outruns the dragonfly it will outdo the e10k too. So Benjet how did the exchange rate go as I notice you checkout in USD's ?

scobbi Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Ahhhh. Just looked at credit card and came to AUD 27.93. So 14 dollars each. Absolute bargain if they are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benjet Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Wow it beats a dragonfly? That's really cool i will have to grab a few. If only it had optical for chromecast audio it would be the bargain of the century. Still definitely worth itIn my system I preferred it’s sound signature. I won’t go as far as say it is better than the Dragonfly as that’s subjective. But for $15, it’s certainly many magnitudes better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benjet Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Also I shouldn’t take credit for it’s discovery as Mark@scumbag was the person who told me about these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oopy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 How does this stack up to say something like the in-built DAC on a LG v30 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat-with-one-t Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just ordered 2. I mean, how could I not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobbi Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Received invoice for the 2 dac's from Parts Connexion ( Canada ). Shipping marked as USD 11.65 ( so about AUD 16.20 ) which is then changed to free shipping as per their promotion. So take away the actual cost of shipping and the TWO dacs I ordered come to USD 8.25 ( about AUD 11.50 ). No complaints here.

LGW1 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Looks like they've jacked the price by 50%, now $14.95. Bought one anyway. Man I feel ripped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickynick Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Bit late to this party but bought one too for $14.95 USD. Still a bargain in my book as I’ve been looking to buy a dragonfly for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah they don't have tracking. I asked their customer service and they said no tracking, even though their initial email said "tracking number enclosed in invoice".

custom_made Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) That's strange.. I was sent a tracking number that seems to work. Only ordered it the other day though, so not much movement yet. Your package is on its way to a USPS facility.
