"Well Schiit that was a great audio experience! But I can express to you that the difference is there and the difference is very noticeable. Now what I first noticed about the Hel is the lack of plastic. Use it with phones, tablets, or computers with low-powered USB ports. With the Hel and Fulla 3 I can do a few little things and fix the problem, but on other Schiit DACs, I can't fix it at all. Coupled with an Alps RK09 potentiometer, high-quality filter and amp stages from Texas Instruments, a sophisticated bipolar +/-12V supply, and precision thin-film resistors and film capacitors, Hel delivers amazing performance for its price. Plugged into the Hel, that white noise was gone. We prefer the latter. in stock, ships 1-3 days Hel delivers a full 1000mW into 32 ohms—enough to light up any gaming headphone you throw at it, and tons of power for virtually every audiophile headphone, too.

The Fulla makes more sense to me as a secondary or portable device, as you only need to attach one cable, whereas the Hel demands power from the wall, making it a little less travel friendly. Car stereo systems, home theater systems, and even headphones just sound better when the source is amplified. With Hel, your PC setup is complete. 1000mW is a ton of power.

Like any sound system you will notice a huge difference if you have a amp feeding the source. "The Hel is an even more serious powerhouse of a product. "In sum, the Schiit Hel is an outstanding and an essential tool for those who love to game and stream, and the high sound quality for listening to music is a bonus. You should look into the Fiio K5 Pro. I have one and it was one of the best audio purchases I’ve made to date.

It also has a gain knob for precise gain adjustments to your signal.Most importantly, it’s quiet. Just put it in low gain and turn it all the way up. Kinda like autocorrect. However, note that Android devices are highly variable—just because they're running the latest OS doesn't mean the hardware is up to the task. The unit is made of metal and has quality on every square inch. As in the Norse underworld.

Its bountiful output is enough to drive even the greediest headphones and gaming headsets in my collection, and its sound quality is simply delicious. We’re not dissing any religion, but seriously guys, this is just a name. Or something like that. I’ve tried these particular headphones with other gaming-centric devices and “premium” motherboard sound solutions without much luck, so I was ecstatic from hearing the amount of clean power the Hel provided in high-gain mode.
