Manufacturer of the SDR receiver is Chinese https://www.sz-plaza.com/ on behalf of SDRPlay (https://www.sdrplay.com/). The mainboard is marketed as compatible with GNU/Linux, Android and Windows (printed on the board itself), but I was unable to make it work yet. It uses MSI2500 MSI001 chipset. Please see details at:

In Windows, the receiver works quite nice in SDRuno (version 1.42-1014) and SDR-Console (version 3.2). SDR-Console identifies it as being SDRPlay RSP1 compatible - it says:
Name=RSP1
Model=RSP1
Frequency=0-2000 MHz (according to manufacturer, it's 10 kHz - 1 GHz only!)
Serial=B0002P0003_00CE6578
Address=HW=1, SN=B0002P0003_00CE6578
