I ended up getting the Questyle m12. The store owner said that the ibasso dc05 doesn't work on all samsung phones, said the fiio k3s requires more power than the phone can handle and that the m12 is more powerful

I looked up reviews for both of these and the k3s is preferred in sound quality. But I've noticed that the e10k tc has 200w power for 32 ohms, and the k3s only has 130w power for 32 ohms. Does this matter or is the k3s still better?

My samsung a22 has a 3.5 audio jack. Would the dongle change anything? Is the dongle a dac?

What would you say the better amp would be to get the full power out of the m50x's?

Well I wasn't expecting to spend $109 AUD for a cheap dac, since a sound card is $30. Maybe nothing higher than $150 AUD. By "power wise" do you mean like the loudness?

Hi, I'm using a samsung a22 4g phone and was wondering whats a cheap dac/amp to run my low 38ohms m50x. I know that they don't really need a high amp to run but I've noticed a big difference with a cheap sound card on pc. Would the ibasso dc05 be enough? It says it's only 32ohms. Or is there...

Makes sense. I wonder if the FiiO E17 goes into the Mobo sound output? cause i cant put anything in there... my headphone jack broke off into it, i cant get it out.

Thanks for the replies. As for the STX 2 not being out yet, i was thinking its just a better updated version of STX 1. But my question should of been: Is the STX 1 overkill/waste of money to power M50's?   Thanks again

Hi, im looking to get my 1st sound card and update my sound. I own Dre Beats Solo (yes i know they arnt good for the price, but i got them free) so i have some questions: 1. Are the Audio Technica M50 that much better over the Dre Solo's that i already own? (would it be worth it to buy them...
