USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
It is stated that these DACs, including the Meizu DAC, the microphone / headset cable buttons doesn't work if the phone also have a 3.5mm headphone jack. It works for phones that only have a USB-C port. I have the Meizu DAC Pro and mic and headset cable buttons work just fine with my "HTC U11"...- CiroConsentino

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
Ok, after 36 days of waiting, I finally got my Meizu DAC Pro today and WOW.. compared to my HTC U11 DAC, soundstage is wider, cleaner sound, deeper bass, stereo is nicely balanced. I wouldn't say it sounds louder than HTC's DAC but it's surely a really nice improvement. No beeps, pops, hissing...- CiroConsentino

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
From what I read in the forum and other review sites, the Meizu DAC "Pro" version fixes the stuttering and you don't need to force the 48KHz re-sampling. You got the non-Pro Meizu DAC, and that one have stuttering/pops/clicks when playing. The Pro version seems to fix this exact problem. I...- CiroConsentino

No it's not. iPhones use a USB Lightning connector, different than USB-C connector in the Meizu DAC. I'm not sure if you use a "USB Lightning to USC-C" adapter then connect the Meizu DAC in it would even work.- CiroConsentino

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
That's what I chose, standard shipping. I bought something else earlier this year and it took 34 days to arrive, but it was from a different seller on the website. I don't mind waiting as long as the product gets here, and in one piece :) Currently I'm using HTC's bundled DAC cable with my HTC...- CiroConsentino

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
No iPad here, I'm using a HTC U11 phone but the HTC's DAC adapter sounds muffled even after tweaking the audio with PowerAmp's 10-band equalizer. I hope the Meizu DAC will be clearer. I'll post results when I receive the Meizu DAC adapter :)- CiroConsentino

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
hi, you'll probably good with the Meizu HiFi DAC Pro adapter when using the Steelseries Artics 3 headphone, but the "Sony MDR-1A" I'm not sure. Hopefully someone can help you with that. I will buy this Meizu DAC Pro myself but my headphone is a humble one: Pioneer SE-MJ553BT-R, 40mm driver...- CiroConsentino

Galaxy S9/S9+ audio quality

Galaxy S9/S9+ audio quality
I did lowered the volume, didn't help. Audio still punchy. I think the DAC in HTC's USB-C to 3.5mm adapter auto-converts the audio to 24bit / 48KHz and you have no way to change this. But if S9+ with Snapdragon chip (or get the S9+ with Snapdragon chip if it has the same same sound quality) has...- CiroConsentino

Samsung Galaxy S9+ (Snapdragon chip) or LG G7 ThinQ for headphone music
Hi all, can someone help with this ? I can't decide between "LG G7 ThinQ" and Samsung S9+ (Snapdragon chip). I listen to music a lot (wired headphones only), but 99% of my FLAC files are CD quality (16 bits, 44.1KHz). I'll probably never listen to HD audio (24 bits, 192KHz...), and I use...- CiroConsentino
