Great product! I like the multiple ports for other devices. Sound quality is good . All for a low price.

I've been using a Schiit Audio Fulla mini DAC with volume control with my laptop driving a pair of 1 by One 2-way powered speakers via headphone out. The Schiit died after 3 years so I replaced it with this. Yeah, I know the Schiit is $100+ more than the PHOINIKAS. This review is only for people like me who thought I could get by with a cheaper desktop DAC solution.The PHOINIKAS was easy to use, Windows 10 recognized it immediately and I was playing music in 15 seconds. Amazing features given the price. The sound is a huge step down from the Schiit Fulla:- It has roughly 10dB lower volume gain than the Schiit- It's not a clear and clean audiophile sound like the Schiit.- The bass is present but not well defined. It drops off below about 50 Hz and sounds like it's boosted in teh 100 Hz range.- The midrange is a bit recessed and not clear. This makes the upper bass sound overly resonant and boomy.- The treble is muffled. There is no "sparkle". Hi hats are lost in the mix.- The dynamic range sounds flat and not engaging.- The sound with the PHOINIKAS is much more coarse than the Schiit with significant digital "hash."- Essentially, the sound difference between the PHOINIKAS ($13) and the Schiit ($120) reminds me of the difference between the stock stereo system in my Subaru vs when I upgraded the speakers to some proper audiophile ones.Overall the PHOINIKAS is a great product for the money but the sound quality is no more than what you'd expect for the price.

Looking at picture I was expecting this big thing. Instead, it's perfect size for my desk. Sound is amazing. Works just as it should. USB cord coming from this box is of perfect length. With a little velcro it's on the side out of the way. I'm very happy with this.

I had a soundcard mounted on my motherboard using Realtek drivers; something becoming more common on newer computer systems. Failed after sixteen months and my system had no sound. Dell said only way to get sound back was ship system back, they would put in a refurbished motherboard and send desktop back to me at my own expense to the tune of a couple thousand. The motherboard would have 90 day warranty. Right!!!I bought this external sound card at a cost of one percent of what Dell wanted me to pay and restored my sound problems using this component. Good quality and simple fix by anyone who has little tech savy.

Works as advertised and great when using a USB mic and aux. The two issues I had were using a USB webcam in the extra USB port because the video sometimes got scrambled or the audio would be too silent. Using only audio devices with this hardware fixes the issue. The other is that when outputting audio the device will split the sound have one device output the left or right side respective to your placement. I wish it was equal on both ports and if you control them individually, but this hardware is great for the price and something like what I describe would be in a higher price range and for a different setup. You should be able to adapt this tool to your needs and I recommend it.

Sounds amazing and offers 2 headphone jacks so i can switch between using earphones and a headset easily. The light up sound dial is really convenient when using in the dark.Just wished that there was an indication on which equaliser setting that is used.

I bought this device to replace the microphone input on my laptop (which was horrible and had a lot of background noise).The PHOINIKAS External Sound Card worked for a while, and during this time it worked well -- it had good audio quality and the volume control knob (with illuminated level indicator) was excellent.However, the headline reads "Product seems to be cheaply made".After using the sound card for around a few hours (maybe 1 or 2) it started to crackle and distort -- all that I was doing at the time was playing sound through the headphones and using a microphone inputLike I said, it sounded good and worked well up until this point.After rebooting the system to ensure it was not the operating system / sound service -- the device generated a lot of usb-related errors and was no longer recognized by the system.Other reports/reviews list audio crackle as an issue -- so I suspect that my issue was not a one-off error.Since the problem was related to the failure of the device's usb circuit/component -- my recommendation to the seller (and manufacturer ZhongTian DingSheng) is that they need to include the proper component-level protections to ensure that normal usage will not cause damage to the unit (e.g. protect against transients, voltage spikes, etc).
