Great product
1 of 1 found this helpful I wanted the Audioengine B1. However it was out of my budget. I found this and was skeptical but bit the bullet. Glad I did!!
All cables ever required are included.
RCA
AUX to female RCA
Optical cable
USB Power
The DAC used is the TI PCM5102A.
- Using as independent DAC.
When comparing this DAC to the audioengine DAC in the D1 and B1 (AKM4396), I didn't notice any glaring difference, none at all really from MY experience. No volume difference. I couldn't test till distortion since it got loud enough that it would disturb neighborhood.
I would say get this and save half the price.
I tested using the Bludento and Audioengine D1 independently and connected together (using optical) and noticed no difference.
- Connection
Pairing was quick and easy. Standard procedure.
Connection distance was decent. I don't have a massive house but I used from opposite corners (through walls etc.) and stuttered once, then carried on. Another time I just moved across 2 rooms and if the signal had to pass through my body, it stuttered worse. For me it's fine, I'm not in a mansion.
- Build Quality
It's a very similar design to my Audioengine D1, but the silver has a slightly greener tint (in case you wanted a matching setup). Not a big deal. It's slightly lighter than the D1, and sounds more hollow when tapped. Unfortunately, I am unable to take apart the product. I could only guess and say it's due to the materials, heatsink or components used beating cheaper. The wires are on the cheaper side too, but rather get wires than have none.
If one just looks at them, side by side, the difference isn't noticeable. I stand it right next to the D1 and it looks like a pair. Unfortunately the logo stands out. Saying all this, I am very happy with the build quality.
- Delivery
Arrived a week early from China to UK . Very good compact and dense packaging.
I can definitely recommend this product.
All tests done using KEF R100 speakers and Yamaha AS500 Amplifier. Used Spotify High Quality and Deezer HiFi.
