Price to performance champ. :-)

So far so good. Pleasantly surprised how well this works with an Onkyo HP phone app. Tested with the paid version using maximum up-sampling. The volume control granularity is heads and tails better than the stock phone output. Using the 4.4 mm differential output, the Aria Stealth at high listening levels doesn’t compromise on any details unlike the stock phone jack. No comparison in quality. A tested Bonus, although not mentioned on the website this device works out of the box on Debian. Completely cleaned up the noisy output from my PC.

5 star for the device, 1 star for the cable...

The device works great, however the cable stopped working after a month. I had some fade outs last couple weeks, and thought there was an issue with the device, but finally after it completely cutting out, I confirmed it was the cable. It is really sub-par quality.

Quality device, unfortunately a poor USB-C cable.

Pro:

The Fosi Audio DS2 USB C to AUX Headphone Amplifier DAC Dongle can be freely used between device (used/tested on a Lenovo 16", Dell 15", Mac Air M2, Lenovo Android Tablet and Samsung S21FE in combination with a DT990 Pro 250 Ohm).

Sounds very nice and for the two Windows laptops, surely better than the on-board options. For the M2 it is difficult to assess, the standard jack works perfectly with the 'cans', the DS2 sounds slightly 'thinner'. Works fine on the Lenovo tablet and the S21FE.

Con's:

Software is restricted to Windows only.
USB-C cable quality isn't the best. After 40 days of nearly daily use on multiple devices, I started getting audio cut-outs due to device disconnects. Not what I was expecting from the USB-C cable.
For the M2 Mac , the tablet and the S21 FE, there is no response to the volume controls.

Overall:

Price wise a solid device delivering the performance as expected, device versatility is great. Slightly let down by the USB-C cable quality.

The Fosi DS2 Mini Audio USB DAC Headphone AMP

The DS2 is much smaller and very light. I really like the volume control buttons they seem to allow finer adjustment than the volume control on my IPhone. Besides headphones I am using it for Yamaha analog receiver and passive speakers. Also it was shipped promptly including a two year warranty I’ll be recommending it to my friends.
