I've had the original Audioengine D1 since 2012, which has served me well for years. Technology has come a long way since then... Needless to say, the D1P blows it out of the water. I own two MOTU M4 audio interfaces, and to my surprise the D1P is a huge upgrade even from them. It's almost startling how much more full and well-rounded the same audio track sounds on the D1P when compared with the MOTU - it really breathes new life into the music! The headphone out from the MOTU is more shrill and less spacious in comparison, which is fatiguing on the ears. I am not noticing that at all from the D1P. It really exceeded my expectations. I didn't think that a different DAC would be so immediately and noticeably better than what I was used to.
I kept my iPhone 6S+ for almost 9 years, because I just could not give up the headphone jack, mainly for listening to Tidal in the car. I bought an Apple dongle for my new phone - it just could not compare. I had to turn the volume up much louder for still inferior sound compared to my old phone. Well, with the D1P, I don't miss my precious headphone jack anymore. My car's speakers sound better than ever, and so do my Sennheisers. Look, Mom, I'm gain-staging while I drive!
The device is beautiful, solid, and just works flawlessly. The volume knob feels great, with the perfect amount of resistance. It can get LOUD, with plenty more juice then my cans need. The impact on my phone's battery life is negligible. Jiggling the cables around creates no loss of signal, not even the tiniest click or pop. Is that a DAC in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Dreams really do come true… Thanks, Audioengine!
