Rockville DAC: USB/Optical/Coax/RCA 24-bit up to 192kHz vs PO100 PRO MQA DDC XMOS USB DAC with I2S/optical/Coax outputs
Overall winner: PO100 PRO MQA DDC XMOS USB DAC with I2S/optical/Coax outputs
Key Differences
AOSHIDA PO100 PRO (B0BLYVZCV5) uses an XMOS XU316 design and supports up to 32bit/768kHz with multiple digital outputs (I2S/optical/Coax), making it better for high-resolution and digital-output workflows. Rockville (B0BCGLYLZQ) offers more varied input types including RCA and a built-in headphone amplifier but is limited to 24-bit/192kHz and has reports of 16-bit mode for some inputs; choose Rockville if you need analog RCA and a headphone amp, choose AOSHIDA for higher-resolution digital output and XMOS USB handling
