Reviews for Vestri
"Let's get to the sound. It’s fantastic. Probably the best dongle I’ve ever heard"
“At $99, Vestri delivers unusually “grown-up” sound quality and value in its niche - 'nuff said.”
"Schiit Audio surprised everyone by releasing the Vestri portable USB audio DAC/amp at CanJam Singapore. More surprising is that for US$99 they may have outdone the sound quality of every other portable DAC/amp out there. But it's what you don't get, as much as what you do get, that makes the Vestri unique."
"The Vestri is different, just like Schiit Audio is different. The company designed, and manufactured Vestri on its own in-house SMD line, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Made of milled aluminum and glass, Vestri feels different. Designed with Schiit’s Mesh digital to analog conversion, custom filtering, and Unison USB, Vestri sounds different. Featuring a removable USB cable and individual LEDs under the glass, that will outlive you and your pet tortoise, Vestri is for those of us who value distinctions with differences”.
"The Vestri is genuinely one of those rare audio products where the engineering story matters as much as the listening experience. Schiit's Mesh DAC technology doesn't just tweak the ESS chip — it bypasses the chip's internal filtering entirely, using it only for basic digital-to-analog conversion, then applies Schiit's own filters to achieve what they claim is outstanding frequency and timing accuracy. Whether or not you care about the engineering, you'll likely hear the result: a soundstage that sounds live rather than reproduced."
