Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini

The Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini packs genuine hi-fi decoding into a dongle that weighs just 11 grams. With both 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs, high resolution PCM and DSD support, and an all-aluminum body, it is one of the easiest sound upgrades a phone or laptop can get.

Type and Technology

The Allegro Mini is a USB-C dongle DAC and amplifier with an integrated USB-C plug, so there is no extra cable to carry. It decodes PCM up to 32bit/384kHz and DSD up to DSD128, and it delivers 30mW per channel into 32 ohms from both the 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced jacks. Plug and play compatibility covers Android 5.1 and above, Windows, Mac, and iOS.

Sound Character

With a signal to noise ratio of 114dB or higher, THD+N below 0.004%, and background noise under 3uV, the Allegro Mini stays clean, detailed, and uncolored. Sensitive IEMs get a silent background, and the balanced output adds channel separation and a wider stage.

Build and Features

The all-aluminum alloy body is durable and pocket friendly at 37 x 15 x 12mm, available in Silver and Titanium finishes. Dual outputs mean one dongle covers every cable in your collection.
