"Included in the package is a small yellow sheet with a disclaimer indicating that the device does not decode Dolby Digital. Since Dolby Sound is extensively used in television programing, including commercials and old sitcoms, it is probably not the best product for this particular purpose."
"The device works great and solved my issue of converting the Playstation 3's optical output to analog."
"I recently bought a new flat screen Panasonic TV and was surprised to find that the only audio output was optical/digital, no longer the red/white RCA analog jacks that I have been using to feed my external speakers."
"I am by no means an audophile, but this little buddy helped me distinguish between 24 bit FLAC audio and 320 kbit MP3s."
"I bought this digital/analog audio converter as a gift for my brother, because he had just splurged on a high-end 55 inch LG TV but only had a 10 year old but good quality stereo-only amp to use for expanded audio."
"I moved to a new place with Google Fiber TV recently and neither the TV box nor the TV has analog outputs, so I had no way of using my Sennheiser wireless headphones."
"Why these high end televisions have deleted the simple audio out jack/plug for headphones is beyond me."

"one of the best value i can find out there... even with the price of the dragonfly tail and the nice speakerwire to go to my speakers, i find this more affordable than other similar (sound) quality setup."
"The negative is that with the dragonfly the battery is drawn down more quickly."
"This dac has exceeded all expectations in terns or sound quality, build quality, upgrade process, simplicity of use... and works great with Roon!"
"I imagine it would improve sound coming from a laptop."
"Loved it while I had it."
"This is a very good DAC that works well with computers and Android products."
"It certainly improves the sound from either my laptop or my LG G4 that's for sure.However, I cannot get it to output sound to a powered speaker which is what I purchased it for whether the source is the phone or computer ?...works just fine and sounds terrific with headphones.Still,I gave it 5 star rating for sound quality.If your phone especially has a lousy sounding dac in it the Dragonfly black will yield better sound quality."

"So I am at home for summer break and am currently using bose computer speakers but at my apartment i have some audio engine a5+s."
"Great DAC at a great price."
"One thing I do notice is that it will occasionally shut-off although that could be my usb hub (amazon 10 port).. other than that it's been a great DAC although my friend just bought it from me so I will update when I have another to compare it to."
"Upon listening with the D1 hooked up for the very first time, music sounded very crisp and almost overly defined. As well, I can almost "locate" instruments when listening to music (the violin section is over there. The only way I can describe the sensation was that I was listening to a flat wall of sound. A nice bonus is that there is no external power supply to make the D1 sing."
"One suggestion is that to tell the difference of a DAC, you'd better to have a headphone at lest as expensive as this DAC first."

Best Signal Amplifiers
To get you started, we have example code for both the Raspberry Pi (in our Adafruit Pi Python library) and Arduino (in our ADS1X15 Arduino library repository) Simply connect GND to ground, VDD to your logic power supply, and SCL/SDA to your microcontroller's I2C port and run the example code to start reading data.

"Pefect for current shunts and other low output sensors."
"That said everything hooked up to my Raspberry Pi B+ I2C buss extremely easily and the well done example code is a breeze to get the ADS1115 running in single-ended and differential modes with very little effort."
"Easy to use with publicly available libraries and example code."
"The chip requires more code to support operation ... a lot more. An external power supply is a good thing: a DROC regulated voltage module (available thru Amazon) lives up to its claims, is easily powered with an older e.g. 18V laptop power supply, and thereby improves on reading precision."
"High resolution via programmable settings."
Best Comparators
These devices consist of two independent voltage comparators that are designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages.
