The TEAC UD-H01 is a dual monoaural D/A converter with a USB audio interface capable of supporting sample rates up to 24-bit/192 kHz. This model features a robust power supply that draws from a wall outlet, distinguishing it from many budget DACs that rely on USB power. Closely related to the UD-501, the UD-H01 utilizes Burr-Brown DAC chips, known for their sound quality. Although it is constructed in a plastic chassis with limited internal shielding, modifications can improve its sound performance. Notably, it includes XLR outputs which provide balanced connectivity, an uncommon feature in this price segment. Users have reported mixed experiences regarding sound quality, often describing its output as lacking resolution and warmth compared to higher-end models, but with potential for improvement through modifications. The device supports DSD conversion on-the-fly, allowing seamless functionality with various audio formats. In terms of performance, the UD-H01 has shown capabilities that can compete favorably within its price bracket, particularly after modifications to its internal components.
