Things to Know

Douk Audio P1

  • The 'screen' VU meter is small and purely decorative.
  • USB input is legacy (limited resolution compared to dedicated DACs).
  • Knobs can feel a bit crowded on the front faceplate.

Fosi Audio SK01

  • Built-in battery is unnecessary for a desktop unit and will eventually degrade/fail.
  • Input is limited to a single 3.5mm jack (no RCA inputs without adapter).
  • Form factor is tall and narrow, making it easy to tip over when heavy cables are attached.
