The DAC is perfect and works very well on Mac and iPad but I couldn't play it on my iOS. Maybe this requires more power than iphone output.Works really well with apple music HiRes Lossless music. You might find an issue on mac devices as it limits the output frequency so even when choosing HiRes Lossless music, you might feel the DAG is always red. You can fix that by using an inbuilt MIDI app on mac and setting up the output frequency for FossiAudio to max. Remember this will lead to every music output to be sent in maximum resolution even if the app isn't outputting in that frequency. But updating the midi output fixed things for me.Works like charm on iPad and it automatically detects the output format and adjust the output accordingly.I would like this to work with my iPhone too so i am taking one star off. Nice product otherwise.Edit: I reached out to support and they asked to used a lightening or type C cable for iphone that supports OTG. I got one for 1k and this is now working with iphone too.

Recently I had it on viewing unboxing on you tube. I use it with my 0neplus with Sony earphones. Audio quality is unbelievable crystal clear. It is nothing but a 11.1.4 channel audio set up within the pocket.

The dongle sounds good. Has a narrow width in soundstage but has good height. Sounds dynamic and with very good vocals. The seller Fosi audio sent me an open box with accessories missing inside and that is not acceptable when we are buying a new product and paying full price for it

The DAC is excellent....only a few surpasses its sound quality...it is worth the money......
