This is an USB DAC based on ESS Sabre ES9023 Chip that built for real audiophiles, who demand for smallest size possible. Neglected so call audiophile grade capacitors and resistors, but the performance still remained top notch at this price range. There will be no other product that can come close to this at the price and size. Unlike other products that built with discrete components or luxury parts, and few of them even used up high end chips, this simple DAC can perform equally or even better compare with other commercial DACs due to it's superior layout finishing. And i named this as UD100 for the first product on my newly registered trading company, Stoner Acoustics (002118419T). The selling price will be only RM140, please believe this. Any question regarding this DAC can drop me a PM and leave this thread as trading purpose. Like our page for more photos.

Product : UD100

Price : RM140 with heatshrink wrapped + RM10.West/RM12.East (Postage)

Warranty : 6 months T&C applied.

Good stuff at a cheap price. I'm obviously plugging for Chchyong89, but at this price, you don't have any other cheaper alternatives for the ES9023.

I know it because I art engineer.

This post has been edited by dhanie19: Aug 3 2012, 09:03 AM

Tempted to get but I looks flimsy O.O

Will it patah if I exert too much force on it when I try to put it in?

Don't worry, FR4 is very hard

wow, 24bits for 130 =)

Wow looks good..How does this compare with T-muso?

The USB receiver is outputing 16bit depth signal


two words, different league.

if mobo maker use this type of chip in their integrated sound

I believe that they will very seldom to use such a chip due to these chip will not be cheap even order in hundreds thousand reels.

This post has been edited by chchyong89: Aug 5 2012, 12:05 AM

For example, if my compie don't have a sound card, will this replace it? like plug and play?

Yeap, it works. Just plug and play

ESS SABRE DAC by pixeltailz, on Flickr

Small yet Big (What is small and what is big? Take a guess )

[EDIT]

Hi,

Sorry for nob questions here. I'm using a Macbook. Do I plug directly into the USB port on my laptop?

Also, it is possible to use it from iPhone 4?

Thanks!

CSC

Hi, it work on macbook. But i dont think you can use it on ur iphone 4.

Just got one via COD from seller yesterday. Pleasantly surprised how good this little thing is. Highly recommended if you're looking for an alternative and portable solution with your PC/laptop.

hi chchyong89.

Based on your experienced, how's it compare to PCM2704 USB DAC ? I might get one for my laptop if you can convince me.

This post has been edited by xEDynamics: Aug 8 2012, 04:27 PM

To make you more confident on this question, I would like to let my current buyers to convince you in the matter that how is this DAC at this price.

This post has been edited by chchyong89: Aug 8 2012, 08:07 PM

as a PCM2704 user, this is very tempting for me, but yeah, comparing those two would be like.. different league--beast

how can a single chip dac without any caps component would fair against any current dac in market? i hope you can join AudioTechnica gathering this weekend

I hope you could post some feedback here after testing since you have tried PCM2704 dac as well..If the upgrade is really significant I will get this dac instead

Hi, for your understanding, the caps on the 2704 is used to decouple the DC in the output signal. Most of the graded products had their center point at zero potential, which no longer needing the decoupling capacitors. There is no fair or unfair to compete each other on design/components used , as long as they are in the same price range.

hmm, hearing is believing. if you're up for poisoning session (there'll be lots of victim), hope you can join us at the AT gathering

Here's a quick and brief review about ESS9023(compared to 2704, well, it's not fair to compare between them as like as TS said they are in 'different league', but since alot of ppl interested to know the differrence, well here it is.....).

Testing equipments
Speaker 1: Logitech Z2300 playing from PC
Speaker 2: Paradigm monitor playing from PC thru marantz amp (pure direct enabled)

1. Emi Fujita's Fields of Gold flac, 9023 sounded wider and sharper. Yes, you can definitely hear the differrence, it's quite obvious right after I switched from 2704 to 9023. Bass is deeper but not at annoying level (i don't like boomy bass).

2. Tsai Chin's Take care tonight flac, 9023 sounded more neutral and better vocal. Medium freq not much differrence.

3. Ronan Hardiman's Heaven, again sounded awesome but I hv to lower the bass setting compared the above songs. Too boomy for me.

IMO, this little DAC is worth the money and definitely worth of the quality.

Thanks for inviting! I will check and see if I can attend

Thanks for sharing~~
From the feedback given, I'm tempting to try it! and I will do comparison to PCM2704 USB DAC and Asus Xonar Essence STX.

chchyong89, PM me ur acc~~ tq~

This post has been edited by ming86: Aug 12 2012, 02:51 AM

No driver is needed for this DAC.
Welcome joining UD100 club~

I bought an 2704 from you last time (before the big issue).
So I can consider this as an upgrade lah?

I intend to use this with iPad --> Camera Connection Kit --> chchyong89's UD100 (will add battery/power if required).
You reckon it'll work?
*Poor man's portable audiophilia setup.

Hi, its definitely an upgrade for you.
Btw, you are using it for your speaker?

Headphones and earbuds.
Might also give it a shot on my parents' el-cheapo speakers & T-amp. Hah hah!

Thinking about DIY'ing O2 amp and Bijou when the money ain't so tight. =)
How would you rate UD100 vs ODAC (which is also based on ESS9023)?

Will this work?
Mac Mini --> UD100 --> headphones (without amp)

***
I'll bite the bullet and buy it. PM transaction details, bro!
COD preferred.

i already have a creative xfi music sound card...how much of a difference would this baby make? im using a Altec Lansing mx5021

PM me best price for 3 units including postage.

UGPM

Received the sexy UD100
I will do the review later...

Received mine , yes it is that small xD ~ first impression, very musical sound~ far better than the previous PCM2704 USB DAC.

Update: Damn i cannot stop listen to songs in pc, from noon till night, i wasted one day again without doing my FYP

Just ordered one, wish the baby arrived safely into my hands

I ordered to Atorner Acoustic this. I like simple DAC

This post has been edited by tackbon: Aug 15 2012, 10:16 PM

Very soon boss!


I had just emailed you the invoice.

item received...too bad im at work.. -____-

After this friday you can have 4 days holiday to enjoice it

Testing it right now...working fine...definitely can hear the difference even on multimedia speakers only...will be getting a headphone after the holidays... Good stuff. Recommended.

Come join me la, we play speaker and big amplifier together.

Thats the dream man... one day i will have my own music room

Can UD100 play 192khz/24bit wav file?

There is no problem playing it as long as your software/player support the playback format.
The receiver is sending a 16bits depth signal to the DAC for conversion.

Item received. Solid bass.

Glad to hear that.

Does the UD100 interwork with the (Linux) Android-powered smartphone Samsung Galaxy S III?

The Samsung Galaxy S III can interwork with the bus-powered Objective DAC (ODAC) without using a self-powered USB hub:

http://pastebin.com/Jjq4xnT3

I know they're not in the same price range, but how would you say this compared to the iBasso D-Zero on the DAC section only?

Hi, I don't have a S3 to test, but from what i searched, the PCM2707/6 is supported by the S3, so it'll work.



The D-zeo is using wm8740 that used on E7 and same usb receiver PCM2706 to UD100.

Thanks!

Hi, Interested... COD ? Thanks

Hi, ugpm. Btw, I just open a facebook to gather the photo collections for the UD100



This post has been edited by chchyong89: Aug 20 2012, 10:42 AM
