To me, a DAC should be all about natural resolution and transparency because those qualities get you thinking and feeling about the material played through them. To be great, a component should not have any readily-identifiable flaws. The M-DAC is a great...

Sonic punch and refinement, Compact and lightweight, Wireless operation,
Battery life could be better,
If you've got a good pair of wired headphones and want to improve your sound on the move then the Audiolab M-DAC nano makes a mighty strong case. We can't think of a similarly priced alternative that is so convenient, yet so capable.SCORESSound 5Features...
Great sonic performance, Compact and easy to use, Useful specification
Battery life a little limited, Enhanced mode not always an improvement, More expensive than the Shanling M0
Any conclusion reached on the Audiolab has to include a decision on whether it justifies a price premium (and a considerable one proportionally speaking) over the Shanling M0. Having now spent some time with both, it's hard to ignore just how good the Sha...
Natural but engaging sound, Excellent volume control, Unique functionality for a portable DAC
Rather large, Can feel a little lightweight, No 3.5mm headphone socket
As noted at the ‘Design' point, unless you happen to be a wizard, dean of a university or a keen dungaree user, the M-DAC Mini really isn't that Mini. If you are part of the brave new world of smartphone users looking for an ever present companion to your...
Decent amount of detail, Spacious, well-balanced sound, Numerous inputs including Bluetooth,
Ultimately short of expression and dynamic impetus, Disappointing casework,
The latter makes a greater deal of the way in which notes are being played, their differing intensity, which makes listening through it less analytical and, ultimately, more entertaining.It isn't a case of the M-DAC Mini sounding downright dull, but it la...
Capable and entertaining sound, Smart-looking design, Good connectivity
USB input is restricted to 24-bit/96kHz files
The Audiolab M-DAC is a superb DAC in design and performance alike and, we think, offers far more than expected of its £600 price tag.We guarantee you'll be immediately hooked by its effortlessly fluid and punchy sound. It'll make you want to listen to al...

Abstract: Ganz so ungewöhnlich will mir das aktuelle Test-Trio, bestehend aus Audiolabs (www.iad-audio.de) M-DAC und den neuen Monos 8200 MB, nicht scheinen. Na klar, vor zehn Jahren hätte man die Kombination eines D/A-Wandlers mit Endstufen wohl noch exotisch ...

Nagenoeg alle bronnen zijn digitaal. En dat is al langer zo. Om dit digitale signaal om te zetten naar een wat prettiger signaal voor onze oren – analoog – is een d/a-converter nodig: een digitaal naar analoog omzetter. Nu is een dac in basis gewoon een c...
