Super charge feature activates when you plug the Samsung Fold 6 to this. Charges the phone in minutes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique DAC- Very good performer *by G***B on 27 February 2026* A unique approach for a DAC. I won't go into detailed product features and specs etc, suggest you read the marketing text. Essentially two DAC chips for the price of one! Excellent for comparisons. However, for most who listen too differing types of music swapping DACs is press one button on the remote to 'tune' your listening. The Douk Q11 allows the listener to switch between the ESS chip's clean open sound, or the warmer "Velvet" sound of the AKM chip. I will not suggest which is better for what! All of us hear differently. It's a pleasure to use and listen too all types of music. Of course it will not approach the likes of the more exotic DACs (like my D400EX) but at its price point it is very capable, and you get the unique aspect of both the ESS and AKM chips. Well worth the investment IMO if in the market for a DAC at this price point, indeed I would say it's a steal for £149. Try this DAC, you will find it fun swirching chips! Visually it looks unique too with the blue internal light, clear window on the top of the case showing the circuitry, dual displays (which can be turned off) .... Importantly here this is a well engineered and manufactured DAC which looks, functions and sounds like a more expensive device. Also, it is upgradable by swapping Op Amps which can improve upon an already very good performance. (You will find plenty of advice on this aspect online.) Perhaps further insight into this device. I have three early teen children, brought up on quality audio. I had scoped three audio systems for them to use in their own space (no arguments.) All audio kit will colour sound. A while back we had a listening test to satisfy their preferred sound, during which we tested several DACs I had. These were an ESS, an AKM, a ROhm, and CS chipped DACs. They preferred the AKM just in front of the ESS. Along comes the Douk DAC which became a perfect choice. They are now delighted as they can tune the sound to their preference at any time, peaceful home! ## Frequently Bought Together - Douk Audio Q11 Digital to Analog Audio Converter, HiFi USB DAC Adapter ESS9038 + AK4493 with Coacial/Optical/PC-USB Inputs & RCA/AUX Outputs DSD256 - Douk Audio A5 2 Channel TPA3255 Stereo Amp, 300 Watts x2 Mini Hi-Fi Audio Power Amplifier Class D for Home Theater System, Passive Bookshelf Tower Speakers with High-Pass Filter + 32V Power Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/724369816-douk-audio-hifi-ess9038-ak4493-usb-dac-audio-adapter-coax](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/724369816-douk-audio-hifi-ess9038-ak4493-usb-dac-audio-adapter-coax) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
