aune Yuki Portable DAC with Headphone Amp, Completely Separate DAC and AMP Structure, 32bit/768k DSD256 USB Dongle with 3.5mm/ Balanced 4.4mm High Resolution Lossless for Smartphone/PC/Laptops

今までにもドングルDACはいくつか購入、売却をくりかえしてきましたが、自分が聴くジャンルと複数ある イヤホンとの相性みたいなものがあって、どれもそれなりの音の良さはあるのですがイマイチだったりと 迷走を繰り返しています。 よく海外サイトのレビューを参考にしながらイヤホンやドングルDACなどは購入してみるのですが 使用のイヤホンが違うので海外レビューと違うところも感じますが概ね評判通りの音と思います。 （音場が広いと書いている人がいたが聴いた限りは普通） andoroidとiPhoneの両方のスマホに繋いで聴いています。 個人的には音場が狭い、音が近すぎる、エッジが立ちすぎる音は嫌いなのでまあどれも このDACアンプには当てはまらないと思います。最近のデジタルっぽい刺激のある音や 一聴して野太い音を出すDACアンプとも違う気がしますが、ややアナログっぽい長時間 聴いていても疲れない音を出すと思います。 聴くジャンルが主に小編成クラシックのホール演奏みたいなものなのでどちらかというと あまり合うとは感じませんが長時間のリスニングでも聴き疲れはありません。 PCに繋いだとき、スマホヘッドホンのときにインピーダンスにより音量を上げても出力に 不足感を感じるときがあります。 本体にボリュームはついてますがゲイン調整はないみたいのでそこでやや不満を感じる ときがあります。 概ねデザインもネーミング（ここは疑問ｗ）含めよい製品と思うので星は5個つけておきます。

As stated plus everything I can't say that much better. She really is worth more than her dollar value. And is of the highest quality. It gets slightly warm and that is it. I bought the orange leather case obviously and it does not get any warmer inside of that. I bought the case even though at first I really liked the style, it did get a little boring for me after a while. It did have a really warm to dark sound at first but still high on details and extension somehow. And as it burned in or broke-in, got more hours of use, it became very clear and really only sounds its best with warmer earphones. The detail is still phenomenal! I love this DAC/amp so much, I still buy DAC/amp dongles expecting to at least find an equal, but back they go. Lol Very strangely it took over 2 weeks of 3+ hours daily of boring warm and dry boring hours, I might add, of listening before I started to notice some changes sound quality. But now it is so crystal clear with just enough of the slightest warmth. Everything else just sounds so natural(sorry I'm very good at describing imaging and separation and some other things, and other things I forget). But sound is very balanced, no frequencies stand out, unless you use the 4.4mm. Then things sounds just thicker and nicer yet. My personal choice for doing upgrades. It is so easy to use, you can just turn the volume to 100 and use your phone for volume. It is so portable due it's size of course, but it is no light weight it has more to it than you'd it looks like it should have. Very good build quality it appears. Connectivity seems to the only slight issue, as this morning I started having some static or some noise like shorting, so I started moving my earphone cable around and checking things and it came to be that the beautiful and so nice short jumper wire( usb c to usb c cable) that is included was the fault. I switched it with one of mine and no more noise. Back to dead silent background. Thank you, I hope you buy and enjoy as I have. :)

数十年前にアナログ盤や真空管アンプで聴いたような音。 最初の印象はこんな感じでした。 イヤホンは水月雨KATOを使用。 組み合わせるとKATO Yukiになりました。 見た目にも女性らしさがあります。 それはさておき…。 解像感と広めの音場はそのままに温かみのある音質になります。 特に中低域のふっくらした感じは、先に例えた『アナログ盤・真空管アンプ』のそれに近しいものとも言えます。 昭和にタイムスリップとまでは行きませんが、ノルタルジックを少しだけ感じられる、そんなDACに思うところです。

I've been a self proclaimed audiophile my entire life and recently got into dongle DACs to drive my IEMs and hifiman sundaras across different devices (laptop, phones, etc) as the 3.5 mm jacks weren't always sufficient. Comparing the Yuki to my previous daily driver, the moondrop dawn pro, I noticed an immediate difference in the sound. The Yuki seemed to offer a lusher soundstage compared to the dawn, with slightly deeper bass and more natural sounding vocals. It helped round out some of the more muffled mids I was hearing from the dawn pro through my over ears in a few Stevie Nicks recordings. The sound is a lot less clinical than the dawn pro, and more warm/natural sounding. Listening to the Eagles live feels just a little more like you're there in the crowd through the yuki. The sound is excellent without feeling like it colors the sound negatively for any genre unlike other DACs I've used. It worked with no issues with all of my devices and looks really cool. Gets slightly warm, especially in the leather case but never hot. The balanced output also sounds really great, I never needed to come close to maxing out the power or anything to get really great output and great sound out of this DAC. No funny settings or filters to play with. Just straight up awesome sound. My critique of this DAC is that it's missing a few quality of life features present on the moondrop for much less. First, it's hard to tell if things are properly connected or not as there is no LED or anything indicating things are on. Furthermore, the moondrop pro will tell me what quality my music is being streamed in via the LED color being shown, a nice feature missing here. Lastly it's not really needed because the stock sound is so awesome, but an app with multiple filters/LED control/etc. like offered on the dawn pro would be a cool add here. Keeping in mind though that we buy these things mainly for one reason - SOUND- this thing absolutely delivers in that department for every genre I've tried so far since I've owned it in the last few weeks. My new favorite DAC for sure!

Overall this has been a great dongle dac and I love the way it looks. My one criticism is the volume buttons being on the back. You have to pick the device up and turn it around to see the volume buttons instead of being able to just pinch the side. They really need to move these. As far as sound, the quality is great. The one thing to be careful of is it is a little bright so if your headphones or IEMs are also bright, or if you easily get fatigue from too much top end, this might not be a good fit for you.
