1000+ Head-Fier
For my desktop, I use Win 11 > Tidal (Exclusive mode) > FiiO K7 > headphones. This by-passes the Windows audio chain and delivers digital USB to the DAC/amp..How do you find the Windows operating system with regards it's audio options ? I ask as I found Windows10 highly restrictive even when using my own kit to produce my own material.
What are the FiiO dongle's like (is this your DAC/headphone out) ?
Am not sure what MeZe109 pro is/are, so need to look these up as well as the Audeze
The KA17 dongle worked well out of my iPhone 6. I also have the Fiio KA3 and the Cayin RU6 dongles all of which I enjoy.
But for the desktop use-case I believe the FiiO K7 is the best value for my money
