    I think they are different chips actually.

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

    I haven't compared with my ears but I went with the DC03 Pro due to more available reviews with all of them seeming positive. Couldn't find enough on iFi Go Link to convince me. Also noted that there was no RFI/EMI which was important because I would also be using my phone as a source...

    Need Dongle DAC Recommendations (I am very confused)

    I ended up ordering the ibasso DC03 Pro. I think it is an all around sensible option. I did sacrifice the 4.4mm output but I don't think it's necessary at this time. Thanks for all the input though! This has been an exhausting and informative rabbit hole to go down.

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

    That's exactly what I was wondering thank you for that. I don't need MQA, I only have tidal hifi

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

    Perfect, thank you so much! I ordered one last night straight from ibasso's website. My curiosity was about how UAC works with other apps (Tidal) that also want permission for full control of the USB c port. It is important for tidal to have it so it can transmit bit perfect. So if I install...

    Need Dongle DAC Recommendations (I am very confused)

    Yeah I've seen that video and was fine with my Google dongle for a while but am interested in doing a comparison between it and a "real" DAC. Willing to spend a little bit on this experiment.

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

    Excellent. I really hate the idea of having to use an app (I'm on android) to control the volume (which the DC06 seems to suggest). Out of curiosity, then, what volume config do you have to use for this? Max the system volume then adjust with the DAC volume? Thanks so much for the response...

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

    If you're using it with your phone as the source, can you see my post above regarding volume? Do you need to use the UAC app from iBasso? How is the noise floor? Do the volume buttons on the unit actually control the DAC or the phone's volume settings. Lastly, if you use it with your phone on...

    Portable Dongle DAC Recommendations (I am Very Confused)

    Hi There - sorry for the repost, I wasn't sure which forum category to put this in. Please delete whichever thread doesn't belong. I have run myself in circles trying to figure out a reasonable Dongle DAC for my setup. My setup: Pixel 4 XL Tidal App (Hifi, not MQA) - I do not want to have to...

    Need Dongle DAC Recommendations (I am very confused)

    Hi There, I have run myself in circles trying to figure out a reasonable Dongle DAC for my setup. My setup: Pixel 4 XL Tidal App (Hifi, not MQA) - I do not want to have to use UAPP - Tidal apparently is able to bypass the Android 48kHz wall now. IEMs (currently using FLC 8s but may be...

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

    Please help me, I'm so confused. I am looking for a way to add a portable USB-C DAC to my basic setup. Source: Google Pixel 4 (android OS) Tidal Hifi (not MQA) IEMs (currently FLC 8s but new IEMs on the horizon) Desire: Inexpensive DAC with 3.5mm and 4.4mm I thought I had found exactly what...
