The Astrapi is essentially a metal sheath housing a single circuit board held in place by ‘chrome’ painted plastic end caps. As a non Apple and minimal Android user, I have used the Astrapi solely with my PC and to great effect. It comes with a lightning connector cable and all of the marketing materials I’ve seen show a slight emphasis on use with iPhones. The Astrapi appears to be an iPhone DAC first and foremost. Works with: PC, Mac, iPhone, Android (with OTG).Those other two have some feature in their favour, but if size and price are your number 1 & 2 priorities you may not need to read any further. It is beautifully made from machined metal, it’s tiny, and it sounds brilliant, but I’ll get to that later.Īt around $200, the Astrapi is in the same market area as products like the HRT microStreamer and Audioquest Dragonfly, but it is also a bit cheaper than both and much smaller. I don’t know the exact relationship between Cozoy and Shozy (other than their similar names), but the Astrapi certainly shows the influence from Shozy’s brains trust. The Astrapi is a creation from some / all of the minds behind Shozy, creators of the incredible Alien DAP. It’s a DAC that’s so small I’ve been carrying it around in the pen holder sleeve of my bag! Overview The Cozoy Astrapi is a teeny tiny marvel.
