DC04 Pro here I go.

Amazing, but I don't think I can work without a volume knob. And usually, a good one. And from what you describe, the more balanced dc04 pro will work better in my specific case. I don't want it too "musical" for producing. My Antelope Audio Interface sounds anything but musical, it's neutral...

Well, from my research they seem to sound pretty much the same, the Cirrus Logic DAc seems to deliver more detail/micro-detail, even low end quality, than ESS. Timbre seems to be more accurate too. DC04 Pro sounds better than DC05 and DC06 Pro, with better dynamic range, blacker backgroun and...

This looks like a review from a professional music producer. It touches everything relevant for us producers in a few words. I'll give it a try.

sofastreamer, have a look at this: https://hifigo.com/blogs/review/ibasso-dc03-headphone-amp-review Pretty impressive. Subjective, I know, but this dongle must be really amazing.

Yes, it uses Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC (Dual). There's a review that describes the sound at a deep level, have never seen anything like it from other reviews and it matches exactly what I'm looking for. BTR15 sounds nothing like that. Pretty good, but not analytical, extremely revealing at a...

HI, Nice recommendation, thanks. Have been reading reviews and those Cirrus Logic Dacs are really good from what I've gathered. Seems that it might sound more analytical than the other dongles at the same price. That's interesting.

Still curious about my experiment with DC06 Pro, even knowing in advance that it won't sound any better :p Come on, recommend a relatively affordable portable DAC that will sound better. lol. Cheaper than Mojo 2 (much. haha). I'm out of this audiophile market for a long time. What about Mojo...

By the way, my Xelentos are calibrated with Sonnarworks Reference ID. Every headphone has to be for music production. The same for Studio Monitors. So, they are not sounding the same inside a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) as they sound straight from a DAC and a smartphone for music listening...

For what I do with them they can handle the job. I use the adam a7x 90% of the time. But they' ve been great. I have Xelento 2 btw.

I've had a Hugo 2 several years ago and it sounds as good as any Antelope Audio interface. They're pretty much on par. But I need something smaller and can't spend $2000+ on a DAC at the moment. I could but prefer not to. What I do on the go is mainly mixing. Mojo 2 could be a great solution, I...

I see, thanks. In that case should BTR7 outclass DC06 Pro? I'm not much in the audiophile industry now, I produce music and wanted the BTR15 as an audio interface on the go, which I do appreciate, so I',m out of date, but someone told me that DC06 Pro would sound better and I wanted to give it...

Hi, Are you talking about BTR15 or BTR7? There's also the separated power supply that improves SQ.

So, I've just ordered the DC06 Pro. My main goald is to get something that outclasses FiiO BTR15. Someone told me that he prefers DC06 Pro over FiiO BTR7, that's why I'm here.
