This unit sounds excellent, (better than regular bluetooth, I am not sure if it is better that AptX), and the range is amazing. However there are some drawbacks
Pros:
great sound quality excellent range /very easy to setup no drivers needed (works with my win 10 machine 1703 update, and my 2017 apple MBP) excellent build quality plug and play 96 Khz 24bit Plethora of Inputs unit comes with all the cables to get you started
Cons:
My unit runs hot configuration is messy (you will still need stereo RCA, toslink / usb) two power bricks / bulky no fixed volume line out(this is important for me, but might be good for you if you are feeding a power amp with no volume control) no way to turn LEDs off no remote not portable (if you want to run it between different devices) no bluetooth no DSD support
overall I like my unit, but due to a network DAC I don't use mine very much. However at 219.99 it is a very good deal - worth picking up

HarisJavedSo this means that despite having 2 seperate units with its own power and antenas and etc I still won't be able to stream music let's say from phone, right?

Gugmanunfortunately no, since no bluetooth. you could however attach a bluetooth receiver to it, and give it some bluetooth functionality, but that would be a waste. Why not try the IFI One? It is a USB DAC with Bluetooth functionality, and sounds pretty good with Bluetooth. I own both the audioengine, and the IFI one so I can speak for the results.

DALEIt is a an amazing little thing. Very much impressed by sound quality and though I bought it for iems it can easily drive fidelio X2 as well, did not try any demanding phones yet but I am pretty sure it won' t shine there, was not meant to.
With iems it is a blessing
