    longtime lurker - first time poster here's a question I've had for a long time, does pairing a chord mojo 2 or any similar DAC to a DAP produce an even better sound or is that just overkill? For example a Fiio M17 + Mojo 2

I am wondering why every reviewer seems to use an external DAC, is it because most other flagships no longer have the port or is an external USB C DAC so much better than what the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2...

    Is a 150w voltage converter enough for a DAC?

    Does anyone own a 220V/230V DAC and paired it with a 150w voltage converter before? I have acquired a DAC (Audio Exklusiv P 0.8) with a European plug and it is 230V and I am wondering if a 150w voltage converter is enough for it. Thanks in advance.
