BoomboommadafakaBetter than the Fulla Schiit? I personally did an A/B "Realtime" comparison between the Schitt and the DACport db matched and synced through Jriver and a manual switching box to a 22hz to 25khz linear (flat factory calibrated monitors from 45hz-25khz) speaker reference system (low end by way of Hsu subs in slightly sound treated room but with no room boundary spectral processing compensation) . I did use the CEntrance Dacport HD (essentially the same ) at high gain with various music files at different sample rates PCM,
Everyone in the house could tell the difference. Everyone commented that the Dacport was clearer, much more detailed and natural in the bass area and superior in all aspects of sound quality including dynamics, separation, soundstage, center imaging and an analog sound. The Fulla sounded "muffled" to everyone, dull and less appealing in every way. That said, the Fulla was quite liked by everyone before. So even non-biased ears could easily tell the difference. I did the switching so no one knew which was which. (since they both use an AKM chip I thought it would be more difficult for them to discern the difference)
Differences: DACport vs Fulla Digital volume control vs potentially dis-balanced or dirty analog pot. 2015 AKM 4399 (edit: oops meant AKM 4490)"Verita" Flagship (native 32bit) vs 10 year old AKM4396 Class A 450ma output with no filter caps vs Nebulous 200ma with cap/ resistor filtering. XMOS vs CM6631 usb interface 192khz 32 bit vs 96khz 24bit Smooth metal case versus a Sharp edged case. CEntrance writes actual windows audio drivers (Less than a handful worldwide do so. I believe they write drivers for Tascam, Korg, Mackie, Alesis, Lexicon etc.) Vs third party usb drivers. $99 vs $90ish shipped.
The DACport outclasses the Fulla in every way and likely any other portable dac currently made.
So now I have to buy the wifey one...
