The EarMen Angel conceals in its cool form factor an excitingly transparent sound comparable to full-size desktop counterparts that inspires listening on the go with confidence.
And instead of increasing the list of feature sets, in exchange, EarMen focused their efforts on optimizing the circuitry of their latest portable DAC/Amp to compete with sound. As it boxed with close peers, there was never a moment that it showed weakness and let the others pull ahead.
I thoroughly enjoyed its non-imposing tonality that simply flavors the sound in ways that do not upset accuracy. And pairing has been a blast since it was able to show finesse with every gear that I can throw at it.
What a nice little unit the Angel is! EarMen promised a lot but in this case they absolutely delivered.
The EarMen Angel DAC/AMP/Pre isn’t the cheapest unit on the market but the sound quality you get from it, is seriously good. It’s so impressive that I even switched back to it from a full sized desktop amp, because it sounded so much better.
If you want reference quality sound from a transportable unit, the Angel now is one of the main units to look at. It plays (more than) well with everything I hooked up to it, and it does so without a sweat! The EarMen Angel replaces the EarMen Tr-Amp on our best DAC/AMP combo list here, where it is in good company.
