Audio46's Opinion
The EF499 DAC/amp from Hifiman stands out for its balanced sound profile and versatility. Its even and neutral low end, complemented by engaging oversampling, delivers depth and clarity to the audio. Transparent midrange and clean high-end reproduction further enhance the listening experience.
