Fosi Audio SK02

~$99

Estimated price · may vary by retailer

Fosi's sleek, minimalist desktop DAC/Amp. It moves away from the 'industrial DIY' look of older models to a modern, tall form factor. It packs serious power and a fully balanced architecture into a tiny footprint, with a massive volume knob on top that doubles as a function button.

Things to Know

  • No dedicated power switch; long-press the volume knob to turn on/off.
  • The volume status light flashes to indicate level changes, which some find annoying.
  • Form factor is tall and narrow; light weight means it can tip over if using heavy cables.

Reviews

It opens up the sound and presents the soundscape in a cleaner, more transparent and nuanced way that is nothing like I've heard in any other source... Arguably the strongest sonic feature about the SK02 is how much it improves the dynamic range.

AudioNotions

The SK02 delivers a remarkably neutral tone... The low-end has a satisfying depth and rumble without becoming muddy, while the highs are crisp and detailed without any harshness.
