I expected this unit to be awesome and it didn't let me down. It's expensive but I am discovering sounds and effects that I have never heard before. I have about 350 songs downloaded from Itunes at 256k.

  • +

    Clarity, volume, rich full sound.

  • -

    Price, but well worth it to me.

The Sony PHA-3 DAC is fantastic. Makes my music sound great! You need not be an audiophile to appreciate what a DAC can do for your listening experience.A DAC's primary purpose is to bring more sonic realism to your music and serve as a better driver for your headphones/earbuds.

  • +

    Very well built, Precise volume control. Gold plated headphone inputs. Options to connect any portable player, DVD/CD player or any type headphone. Battery operated for portability. Processing for AIFF, FLAC, DSD MP3, AAC files and more.

  • -

    Expensive. No Apple connection cable. No case. This isn't really a con but the weight and bulk of the PHA-3 when attached to a player suggests you won't be throwing them in your pocket for a jog down the street. Portability in this case means room to room or backpack to office desk.
