It is a great achievement to be able to squeeze such a high-performance device into such a small chassis, which not only performs well on paper but also in real life. In my opinion, Ivan’s 9038D is an engineering marvel. It’s an easily recommended buy at this price. At this price level, I really don’t have anything in my portable collections that come close to the performance of the ddHifi TC44B. ddHifi with all of their units, and especially this TC44B, prove they are one of the most important players when it comes to high price/performance ratios in miniature-sized portable units.įor $89 USD you get a pocketable and surprisingly well-performing DAC/AMP which you can use with both your laptop as well as your smartphone.
The market of compact DAC/AMP modules is getting stronger and better each month.
