Our take
In today's market, there are lotsa options for Bluetooth DAC/Amp within RM500-ish price range, however not many within RM200-ish. xDuoo XQ-25 stand apart for its affordability, design, built and sound quality compared to what you would get at a much higher price range.
In our view, xDuoo XQ-25 budget portable wireless DAC/amp offers a dynamic, lively, slightly warm and forward mid-range presentation. Provides an element of realism or that "singers/players in the room" sensation. ~RM200 to spend? Can't go wrong with the XQ-25.
Product details
xDuoo XQ-25 utilizes Qualcomm QCC3008 for Bluetooth communications and supports Bluetooth 5.0, SBC, AAC and aptX. Once the signal is received, an ES9118 DAC chip handles the decoding before passing off to an amplifier chip. Output power is listed as 32mW into 32 Ohm load, so it's limited to fairly low impedance, high efficiency earphones or high sensitivity on-ears/ over-ears headphones.
