Reviewer Comments "DACmini may look Apple-playful on the outside, but it’s built like a fighter plane on the inside. The sound is reminiscent to that of certain great pieces of Pass Labs equipment." - Chris Martens, AV Guide
"I was moved by an almost analog-like quality I got from the DACmini." - Andy Schaub, Positive Feedback
"Low volume channel balance is very good with my most sensitive custom IEM on the DACmini, yet it has enough power for several different full size headphones... I'm finding the CEntrance DACmini is a very good choice for the LCD-2, and it's become my favorite amp to pair with the LCD-2 so far." - HeadphoneAddict, 15,000+ posts
"I don't have another amp that pairs so well as does my DACmini with my LCD-2. I now find that I automatically reach for my LCD-2 & turn on my DACmini when I sit down at my PC... Michael & his CEntrance guys have done it again. I use my DACport with my iPAD almost exclusively now, usually with IEMs, but with my LCD-2 I now almost exclusively plug in the mini." - AustinHorn, hundreds of posts
