In the Hifime 9018 dac we have managed to fit the high resolution, audiophile Sabre ES9018K2M DAC chip in a tiny compact box, the same used in our U2 and UAE23 Sabre dac's. We used a double PCB to be able to fit in this small box. This chip has great specs like 127dB DNR, -120dB THD+N and patented Time Domain Jitter Eliminator.

It supports all sample rates up to 384kHz/32 bit and are clocked by two onboard oscillators. Hifime 9018 has MAX97220A headphone chip that can drive headphones down to 16 ohm as well as higher impedance headphones as the Sennheiser HD650. The volume level goes quite loud, more than enough for 300ohm HD650's.
It works without drivers in Mac, Linux, and requires drivers to be installed in Windows. Note that 384kHz only works with ASIO which is accepted by some programs only, and not by Chrome, Youtube etc. Chrome on Mac's also doesn't support 384kHz. It uses by default USB Audio Class 2 which is required for sample rates above 96kHz. It will switch down to Class 1 if USB High speed mode is not available. It also have (like the U2 and UAE23) an optical output, which works up to 192kHz. In addition to normal PCB format It can play DSD files.
We think the sound of this DAC is really great! Another cool features is that it works withAndroid 5.0! This makes it a super small portable highly audiophile solution.The Nexus 6 battery lasts for 6 hours when playing constantly with the 9018 dac.

Also reported working with LG G Flex running Android 4.4

No drivers required for Mac and Linux. Drivers available for Windows
Accepts all sample rates up to 384kHz/32bit
Asynchronous USB transfer
Analog and digital (optical) output from 3.5mm connector
Volume level responds to computer hot keys, -however only in 8 steps. This is the behaviour of SA9227 USB receiver. You can fine tune volume level in software.
Works plug-n-play with Android 5.0 Lollipop (Nexus 6 tested). Responds to system volume level/vol+/. keys.
