As someone who's always on the lookout for affordable gear that delivers, the recent announcement from Moondrop caught our attention. They've just unveiled the Echo-A and Echo-B portable USB-C DAC/AMPs, aiming to offer high-quality sound without draining the wallet.
The Echo-A is a no-frills USB Type-C to 3.5mm DAC/AMP. It's pretty impressive that it handles hardware decoding of PCM signals up to 32-bit/384kHz. Plus, it's compatible with OMTP microphones, so if you're using IEMs with a mic, you can take calls or join video conferences without any hassle. No need to deal with drivers or software installations either—it's plug-and-play across devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers. On the specs front, we're looking at a THD of 0.01% and a signal-to-noise ratio of 100dB, which is solid for something that costs just $17.99.
