    USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

    I've just received ibasso dc02, and I try to use it on my MacBook with Tidal app. When Tidal app uses it, I can't increase/decrease sound volume via standard volume keys - only using Tidal's internal volume slider. So I need to switch to Tidal app every time I need to modify the volume. Does...

    Yeah, it really sucks... We are here to share our opinions and impressions, it's not an iBasso/Fiio/A&K funpages. And I think when you compare iBasso with Fiio on iBasso thread, and write about some good Sony DAP in Fiio thread - it's wonderful, cause you can always learn something new.

    Yeah, it's really cool if you can go to your local store (or CamJam) and make direct comparison, forgetting about price and marketing hiss - only sound, only YOUR impressions :) The probles is that not every city has such store :) So that's why many people here are trying to make some sort of...

    I guess X7-II is considered to sound best for now (from FIIO), but can't say of course, didn't hear any of them. My question was about dx220 - m11 comparison, not about 'flagship' definition :)

    :) Usually 'flagship' is simiral to TOTL - Top of the line, the best product that company has at the moment.

    Would be great to hear any sound comparisons dx220 - M11. I doubt dx220 sound twice better, but it's a flagship anyway.

    Reply to review by 'blackyangell' on item 'FiiO M11'

    Thanks for a great review! You've mentioned you had IFI Micro iDSD. I'm listening to FH5 via iDSD now, and I really enjoy the sound, but I'd like to swap it with M11 to make a setup smaller/more portable. Can you help with some direct comparison iDSD - M11? iDSD has such cool features like...

    I don't have M11, but I tried to get MQA stream from Tidal on my mobile, connected to IFI iDSD. When I play some Tidal Master tracks (MQA) from Macbook, I can see clear confirmation from IFI (yellow led light) that it gets high res data to play. But when I play the same tracks from Androin...

    How do you do this? What settings in UAPP should I use to get full MQA unfold on Android without resampling? Thanks!

    Hah, I feel the same thing now comparing my new FH5 to Beyerdynamic Amiron :) FH5 costs 2.5 times less, but I can't definitely say they sound worse or less exciting to me. So much fun in such a small IEM. So now I'm considering about swapping IFI iDSD to M11 for more convenience, can't wait to...

    Hi guys! Quick question: while M11 doesn't support MQA, what will we actually hear listening to Tidal's Master tracks (which should be 24/96)? Will it be regular 16/44 or something else?

    Beyerdynamic Amiron Home (the new T90)

    I've talked to Beyer's support, asking them to give me more info about Impacto - is it really powerful enough to drive 600ohms T1? They told me that it will be loud enough. But I didn't receive their answer about the quality of this loud sound - what about bass control, what about distortions on...

    Beyerdynamic Amiron Home (the new T90)

    Thanks for sharing your experience DChrls. I'm using iDSD Micro, and I'm happy with that pairing too. But I was considering Impacto as more transportable alternative.
