These things ROCK! Excellent DAC for quick phone / laptop hookup!
The Hidizs S3 Pro Hi-Res DAC Dongle far exceeded my expectations! I also have their IEMs I ordered which will arrive today. Even though I have a custom molded set of IEMs that were $2k+, Somebody told me the Hidizs were good and cheap. I am a musician and have a recording studio with more gear than I can even mention. I have headphones of all types, open back, closed back, reference, and mastering. I also have high end DACs as well to insure music represents properly. When I saw this DAC on Amazon as a recommendation for the IEMs as an accessory, I figured I would grab them to allow a quick connection to my iPhone Pro Max. At the $49 current price, I was not expecting too much, but saw other reviews saying they worked well. Let me tell you, I plugged this into the iPhone and it immediately showed up and I specified I was plugging in headphones from the prompt. I put on some studio cans and I was blown away at how well this DAC works! I then plugged it into a M1 MacBook Air and again, plug and play. These sound insanely excellent! BUY THEM!

Powerful Sound From An Old Computer.
I fed my Dell laptop into my Ford F-150 Sony 6+1 sound system using this as the interface. The Dell is a surplus Precision model from the Gulf War with double cooling fans and 4TB solid state hard drives. The onboard sound card must have stayed behind because it didn't even crackle. So I fed the USB into the S9Pro and used the 3.5 mm standard jack to the Sony's AUX input. The sound was brilliant if not a little overpowered. Since I was on a 1000 mile drive, I actually found a Radio Shack and bought one of those 2.5mm micro headphone plugs and used the unbalanced output. Seems like the impedance worked perfectly with the Sony, not over-driving the bass and still giving separation I have never heard before in my truck.Overall, it is worth the investment. Give your sound system some time to allow the little card to burn in. after a few hours you can tune the sound to remarkable clarity. Since most system AUX inputs are unbalanced, you might want to add a micro-stereo to 3.5mm headphone adapter to help the overall impedance and eliminate distortion caused by excessive power. This small card made my old Dell sound like my home system which happens to be a Soundcraft recording studio. Money well spent.

Works just fine
Small, ergonomic, and a nice price point.for this DAC-Dongle. I had my reservations. Received them a few days ago. Used them 3 times thus far. No complaints. I make a point of putting them in the nice box they came in. I will take them on many road trips.

Exceptional Sound on the Go
The Hidizs S9 PRO DAC amplifier is a marvel of portable audio technology, delivering high-fidelity sound with its ESS9038Q2M DAC capable of decoding up to 768kHz/32bits PCM and native DSD512. Its small stature belies its powerful output, driving both single-ended and balanced headphones with clarity and depth. Designed for audiophiles on the move, its compatibility across various devices and detailed resolution make it an exceptional choice for anyone seeking premium sound quality in a compact form.

Excellent sound experience, not durable.
I have had 2 of these. They both wore out. The quality of everything is insanely good. The sound quality, the wire durability, the appearance. Everything is perfect.Except the type C plug. This is a problem with phones, basically all daily use items with type C headphone jacks. They break in very little time with almost no extreme use or abuse.This is no exception. Safe to say, I have to use Bluetooth stuff for everything pertaining to my phone. I hate that things are so bad as this, it is a symptom of the industry, not the quality of this product. I will never be buying anything of this model again. It is not worth it for 60 dollars when I have gone through 2 in a matter of 5 months. I rarely give 1 star. This is worth the warning.

Works OK for an DAC/AMP
It’s just overpriced and most importantly: THE FIRMWARE UPDATES DON’T WORK! I had no trouble with my other hidviz firmware updates. This wont verify after many many attempts. At least it works, mediocrely.

Top specs and power.
This has specs that rival the top headphone amps out there. If all you need is a USB DAC and headphone amp without volume controls look know further. It can drive 300 ohm headphones with ease. I don't know how they do it but this things is a beast in either single ended 3.5 or balanced 2.5 output!Like them so much I have two. One for the desktop (PC, 2022 Mac Mini) and the other I take with me for the phone.
