Step 1 - Connect the D1 to your computer USB port. For PC, the D1 should be recognized automatically. For Mac, under System Preferences/Sound, select “Audioengine D1” Step 2 –- Connect the analog output of your D1 to any audio input of your active speakers, stereo, etc. Headphones Optical Source.

D1 Internal Converter
The D1 uses the AK4396 DAC, which is well-regarded for its low noise and high fidelity. Due to the high signal-to-noise specs of the AK4396 and the added benefit of double redundancy power source conversion and filtering, the D1 presents impressive low noise and low distortion characteristics. The D1 can process digital audio at any bit depth up to 24-bits and any sample rate up to 192kHz.

D1 Headphone Amplifier
The D1 includes a headphone amp based on the TI OPA2134 low noise opamp. The high-performance headphone output was designed for a wide range of headphones and will satisfy even the most demanding headphone enthusiasts.

D1 Power
The D1 is powered directly from the USB bus and power is passed through two stages of regulation to ensure no USB bus power variations affect the audio quality.

D1 Volume Control
Volume is controlled directly from the D1 front panel via the digitally-controlled analog potentiometer.

How quickly do things change? Just a couple of years ago a headphone enthusiast could count the number of headphone DACs in a handful of seconds. Now, in the early months of 2012 the list is significantly larger and growing with each passing day.

Enter into the market Audioengine, a well-respected member of the desktop/home office segment of the market. Since the company’s founding in 2002, Aﬀordable$$Audio, along with countless other audio publications, have lavished well-earned high praise for every product they’ve brought to the public. From the A5 powered speakers in 2005 and way cool A-W2 wireless iPod transmitter, to the stealthily impressive N22 amplifier, Audioengine consistently delivers quality and value. When I heard that they had quietly launched the D1 DAC at last year’s RMAF, I knew it was time to experience an Audioengine review for myself.
One of the hallmarks to Audioengine’s success is their build quality-beginning with the rounded sides of the case, consistent with other AW products, and homage to the Apple-inspired past in one of the founders. The D1 is about the size of a tri-fold wallet with the body shell painted in a metallic grey. The gauge of metal is thicker than other small audio pieces in the budget category. Each end is a cap finished in a ﬂat anodized black though it feels a bit like suede. Two recessed hex nuts secure both front and back to the cover. A nice bit of ergonomic design is the thin full-width rail foot on the bottom of each cap instead four rubber feet. The overall feel is one of solid one-piece construction and he6. A microfiber bag is included for traveling along with a USB cable.

The front cap has room for the silver volume knob (surprisingly not the same color as the cylinder), and much like the N22 Amp, no notch for the volume position. A white LED notes whether power is on. The mini-headphone jack has a nice tight snap. The back cap holds a single set of gold RCA output jacks as well as both an optical and USB input.
Like other DACs, the D1 installs into the computer-based audio system in just seconds, whether Macintosh or Windows-based. The D1 will accept optical input up to 24/192k and 96k with USB, respectively. Signal to noise ratio is stated to be 110db, a number that just a few years ago was the domain of more expensive genres.

Listening Audioengine D1

I did all of my listening using an Apple MacBook without the power cord being engaged to eliminate as much outside noise as possible. Much like the average D1 user I chose to use the half-meter USB cable provided by Audioengine. For headphones, most of my listening was done with the Sennheiser HD650, though I did spend a little time listening with an older budget pair of HD422s as well as the Skull Candy 50/50 in-ear phones.

One of the aspects of (all) headphone listening that must be taken into account is that it is a different aural experience than from speakers. For a few days prior to beginning the review I listened solely via headphones. With every selection I listening both directly from the laptop and with the D1. I began by selecting Doug Macleod’s Come To find, foreshadowing what became an obvious characteristic of the D1, a bigger and deeper soundstage. The harmonica was clearer. Bass strings were deeper with greater detail in “Bring it on Home.” Slight string loose vibration was distinct rather than fuzzy without the D1.
In the track “Since I Le6 St Louis,” a light tapping of a digit against the guitar (during the chorus) is clearly evident, but went missing without the D1 in the loop.
Switching over to the Flaming Lips’ At War with the Mystics, it contains lots of buzzy synthesizers against Prince-style talk-vocal in the track “Free Radicals.” Never had I been able to tolerate this
