דונגל xDuoo Link2 Bal dongle (תצוגה)

Verdict

The xDuoo Link2 Bal delivers fantastic audio quality and high output power. Moreover, it comes with an attractive rugged chassis and onboard playback/volume controls. Combined with its uncoloured natural sound and spacious soundstage, the Link2 Bal is one of my favourite delta-sigma dongles. In fact, I like it so much it gets the PAR recommended award.

Conclusion

I’m perhaps being a little harsh in this review of the Link2 Bal dac/amp dongle. It’s one of the cheaper dongles on the market and for the price it does perform quite well. At the same time, I personally feel the difference with the higher end, more expensive dongles clearly is there and as such I can’t shake the feeling it’s running behind the facts and the competition.

That being said, the xDuoo Link2 Bal has some really excellent things going for it. The Link2 Bal has a lovely musically neutral tuning, remarkable energetic presentation, great vocal strength and treble liveliness. IF those are your things and you’re on a budget, the Link2 Bal will definitely impress you, but it won’t be the best the market has to offer.
