Totally worth the price 👌🏻

Beautiful build. Excellent finish. Looks too good in the hands. Very light weight. But the buttons on the face are non functional.

Sound quality is terrific. Nothing to pick any negatives about the sound. It is clean, clear and wider. Using with tripowin zonie balanced cable nd simgot ew200. 4.4 balanced does really make a difference in the sound. But don't expect day nd night difference. It improves the bass quality nd quantity. Also the note weight got improved nd got thicker.

Around 5K it's a deal. Those who want balanced output nd can't afford costly DACs can invest in it.

Satisfying experience overall ✅

Thank you for this wonderful review ! We are delighted to hear that the product has met your expectations!

Pathetic DAC, Zero Sound Amplification, Plz Avoid

Got This DAC in exchange as my Ifi go Link DAC was not working, was shocked to hear superlow volume in this DAC, its so Low that my Tangzu Waner SG works much better without this DAC, but the same headphones when connected with KIwiears DAC sound less than 50%. Please dont waste your Hard earned money over this🙏

Good DAC

Its affordable and gives you 4.4 balanced at this price point, it sounds good as well and looks like it'll last a very long time without issues. I'd recommend this to anyone who is getting their first DAC.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for the Kiwi Ears - Allegro. We appreciate your recommendation and we hope to continue serving you in the future.

It's very analytical & bang for your buck.

It's very analytical & brings out the best qualities from the IEM, it synergies well with every type of IEM be it neutral warm sounding or aggressive V-shaped tone one. I use it with Simgot Supermix 4 the power output is more than enough it makes it sound fuller & neutral, before this one I had VE Abigail pro the power output was not sufficient for my Simgot SM4 & it sounded a bit off. It is worth the upgrade if you have a good IEM the only downside is lack of features such as high &low gain modes for the price they should have included it.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review, we really appreciate the genuine feedback! Your review will definitely help fellow audiophiles to make an informed decision.

Amazing DAC at this unbelievable price

This DAC generally suits brighter IEMs as it tames down the harshness upto a certain extent and retains the detail retrieval. First impression was that the sound felt a lot more dynamic, the richness of the audio increased twofold. Soundstage expanded and I could feel the sound to be airy which I never experienced without this DAC. The tone and timbre sounded great as it's a fairly neutral DAC and the output isn't coloured at all. The technical performance became slightly superior in my observation. I tested it with a couple of IEMs that I have and felt the cheaper one(KZ Libra Hi res version which I got for mere 1500) had relatively significant improvements that could be perceived even by a layman.
There's only one con that is worth mentioning that I've heard from people before getting these is that it isn't the most efficient. I will update it if I find it to be true.
P.s. - mind you, I haven't used this DAC all that much as I recieved my DAC today itself but I couldn't stop myself from posting this review.

Thank you for such a detailed and positive review for the Kiwi Ears - Allegro DAC. Happy listening!
