Value for Money DACs: D5 vs. uDAC

FiiO D5 Digital-Analog Converter
Price: 1.5k PHP (around... 40 USD?)

Specs:
USB-powered
USB input
Coax out
Line out
Mic In 3.5mm x2
Audio Out, 3.5mm x1
Has vol+-
Mute for mic and for audio out
Probably works at 16bit, 44.1kHz (CD sampling rate)
1.5"x1.5"x0.75"

Notes:
Looks very nice, but a little cheap and shitty up close
No volume attenuation knob(!!!!!!) so you need to lower the PC's volume, or fiddle with shitty buttons
Line out is pretty cool for those with speakers that use 3.5mm jacks
Distributes power equally, not equittably
Doesn't do much for the soundstage
Feels like it just delivers raw power, no control

NuForce uDAC 2
Price: 5.9k (100 USD on Amazon)

Specs:
USB-powered
USB input
Coax out
RCA L/R out
Audio Out, 3.5mm x1
Volume Attenuation Knob + Power (zero-click to off)
Works at 24bit, 96kHz(ridiculous rate that no one uses anyway)
2"x3"x0.75"

Notes:
Looks a lot more polished; nice matte finish
RCA out for those who use speakers
Nice and firm volume knob, satisfying click
Works wonders with soundstage
Amplifies with finesse; bass is given power, but treble does not overpower

--

Verdict:

D5 is great value for money
uDAC is probably that 20% better, sound quality-wise
uDAC has a fucking volume knob for christ's sake

Thus: uDAC, unless you really can't afford it. then the D5.

Edit: the uDAC apparently has a lot of channel imbalance issues, and a very high maximum gain. take that as you will. it also clips/distorts at 0dbfs but you should be ashamed of yourself for having such shit music, and the music mastering engineers responsible for that should be ashamed of themselves for mastering like idiots.
