A microfiber bag is included for traveling along with a USB cable. The overall feel is one of solid one-piece construction and he6. A nice bit of ergonomic design is the thin full-width rail foot on the bottom of each cap instead four rubber feet. Two recessed hex nuts secure both front and back to the cover. Each end is a cap finished in a flat anodized black though it feels a bit like suede. The gauge of metal is thicker than other small audio pieces in the budget category. The D1 is about the size of a tri-fold wallet with the body shell painted in a metallic grey. 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. 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. 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. 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. Enter into the market Audioengine, a well-respected member of the desktop/home office segment of the market.
