Portable mobile USB DAC AMP is a thing, especially for audio enthusiasts. We reviewed some of them, like the L&P W2. I don’t think they are going away anytime soon since more and more smartphones and other mobile devices are ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack. Recently, Colorfly announced its USB DAC AMP – the Colorfly CDA-M2 Hi-Fi USB DAC Amplifier. It features dual Cirrus Logic DAC CS43198 audio processors, an OLED display, supports both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced output, and more. Check out more details from the news release below.
