Fosi Audio SK02: a palm-sized desktop DAC/amp built on the ESS ES9038Q2M, with 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs delivering up to 755mW at 32 ohms. It suits a computer desk that wants balanced headphone power plus a 3.5mm preamp line out for powered monitors.
Who the Fosi Audio SK02 is for
Balanced-cable owners at the desk: A 4.4mm balanced output sits beside the 3.5mm single-ended jack, so balanced IEM and headphone cables plug straight in.
Computer-and-powered-monitor setups: Through its 3.5mm line out it doubles as a preamp between a computer and a pair of powered monitors.
High-resolution file libraries: It decodes PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256 over USB-C.
Desks short on space: The palm-sized chassis brings balanced output and real desk power without committing to a full stack.
