Darko.Audio is no stranger to looking at hi-fi a little differently to most reviewers. And so it proved when he recently lined up five USB DACs for careful consideration - a lineup that included our brand new DragonFly Copper.

Rather than focusing in on sonic differences for this particular piece, Darko considered other key factors in their design, including weight, size, output ports, the durability of their connection cables, and their sample-rate ceiling.

In his summary, Darko notes that Copper could be an especially useful solution as a line source for an iPad or similar desktop setup, given it "...rides a stiff DragonTail adapter that holds it clear of the iPad’s port, so it dangles without drooping or straining the socket." Good stuff!

It's an interesting read - check it out here: https://loom.ly/tbR3AyQ

PD20 has been named a Recommended Buy pick by Headfonia.com. (headfonia.com)

This review's highlights ✒

“The Astell&Kern PD20 can be summarized as a balanced sounding DAP with focus on a smooth midrange, great organics and top-level technicalities. It provides high resolution from top to bottom and excels, to me, by blending precision and accuracy with realism and naturalism. In the treble, the PD20 provides a slightly more accentuated sound.”

“The PD20 has a solid and superbly sounding base-sound, where smoothness and minute detailing are key strengths. With the three different amp settings you can easily go from a fresh and lively sound to a full and analogue one in an instant. The PD20 offers exceptional build quality, great software and a sound to fall in love with.”
