### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great sound. A bit fiddly.
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2019*

Minute size but very powerful and great sound. Getting it to pair was slightly tricky - you need to hold the on button until the LED flashes alternate red and blue - in instructions but not too clear. Switch between 16 & 32 bit sampling also needs care - don’t hold too long or it will switch off and the LED goes from blue to green, not always clear. But the step up in quality is clear and outstanding.

    Nano in size and nano in sound improvement.
  

*by R***0 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2019*

Bought this little wonder in the hope it would improve my music listening over a Bluetooth connection while commuting and also listening while wandering around the house and garden.... Well, it does one thing well (not stunningly) and one thing abysmally.Let's kick off with what it does really well first:Portability: Its brilliant.. no bigger than a small box of matches, this device will fit anywhere and not get in the way (I tucked mine in my shirt pocket) or feel bulky. Audio Lab also supply a nice little pouch for you to keep it on your belt if that's your thing.Wireless charging: Not really necessary but a cool way to charge this device.Err, that's your lot I'm afraid... Good points... It's portable and wireless charging (sorry).Now on to the middling stuff:Build quality: OK, yes there is an apparent increase in definition and spaciousness of the soundstage... But for the £150 asking price I expected more, a lot more. I didn't think I'd have to keep swapping from no DAC, to low Res DAC and then high Res DAC settings and listen intently to hear any dicernable difference in what I was listening to... Yes, switch to the high Res setting and it does seem clearer with more space, but there is also an increase in volume... Lower the volume and some of the gaines disapear and come closer to the low Res setting and using no at all... Don't get me wrong, there is a difference in sound quality and that may be enough for others to justify the price tag, but not me....  I want to both hear the difference and enjoy my music... Not play my music and strain to hear little changes in what's playing and not enjoy it. To me, just up your volume on your phone a little, or alter the sound with an app (I use neutron player and it makes a hell of a difference to the phones output).Build quality: Not great!  it's very plasticy and creaky.... The dial for volume is a little loose and it all just feels very cheap, which again, at £150 it is not.Bad stuff:Bluetooth: The distance you can wander from your device using this DAC is truly woeful... To put this into contex. With just my phone (OnePlus 7 pro) and earphones (AGK K845) I can move all around my house and around the garden with no loss of signal (or quality) at all... Not a blip.With the Audiolab M- DAC Nano attached, you will be lucky to get further than 2 mtrs from your device before the connection fails... It is very poor indeed, with drop outs ruining any music or podcasts you may be listening to. This my just be a fault with my unit, but definately something to keep in mind if you are considering buying this DAC.Conclusion: I used this DAC for a little over four hours before deciding to return it and just stick with what I have. The Audiolab M-DAC Nano just isn't worth the cost being asked for the slight increase in sound quality, plastic build and woeful Bluetooth performance... Unfortunately, this is one device I'm sadly unable to recommend.Audiolab are an excellent HI-FI company with a fine heritage and have produced some outstanding amps, DACs and cd players over the years.. Unfortunately they appear to have jumped on the portable DAC bandwagon with the Nano and on this occasion have failed to do justice to that heritage.

    Great Sound, Subpar housing

     I purchased an M-DAC nano in November 2020 and have been using it with a Samsung S20+ and V-Moda Crossfade M-100 Master headphones.  I am very happy with the sound quality and volume produced by this setup.  However, the nano came out of the box with a very badly assembled and flimsy housing, as can be seen in the video I am posting.  Also, blue-tooth range is disappointing.
