Is it just me or is this DAC actually kinda bad??? First thing i noticed was that this dac was slightly colored. Now i'm not necessarily against this... as this DAC brings up the bottom a bit which i find most "audiophile" grade headphones are always lacking.... But this DAC severely clipped the output frequencies of the IEM's i've sampled. It completely cut off very low frequencies and high frequencies were dulled or cut out entirely. I went back to using my onboard DAC on my laptop because it is quite literally superior in EVERY way. Clarity and detail were identical between this Zorloo and my base model, bottom of the line linovo think pad. Unless you have SEVERE issues with your device, like a 10 year old device who's onboard audio was a complete afterthought and your headphones are crap and can't outtput any decent frequencies, then you MIGHT want to consider this. But if your device isn 't a technological dinosaur, and you're looking for an improvement to a mediocre onboard setup, get LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.
As far as having to change your default driver, yes you have to make the zorloo your default. THis is no different than ANY other USB dac i've tried. Oh you wanna use onboard speakers instead now? Well you gotta manually change it. Again, My super special SCHIIT stack is no different. Stop whining.
