I have exactly the same issue. It's super annoying. I was googling for this and found your answer. Normally it works fine but I'm in the train now and just stops randomly. Hopefully back at my laptop it will work...

I have received the DC04 Pro and i have to admit it's quite nice. The Z12 sounds very very well and detailed. I like it quite a lot. However, does anyone the unbalanced vs balanced differences? Is there any reason why not to use the 4.4 balanced termination? does it consume more power? Any sound...

Can anyone briefly compare the differences between KA5 and DC04 (and maybe FC4)? Are all sounding neutral or is one of them slightly warmer? I prefer a slight treble dampening/bass emphazis if possible, but i can't really find direct comparisons between them. Does any of these support also mic ...

Z Reviews loves everything :D . Show us a product he dislikes :)

Thanks for the answers all. I was not aware of the DC04 Pro model. I read only good things about it. I reduce my selection now between Hiby FC4 and DC04Pro, but can't find a direct comparison yet. I guess either would be great in my situation.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a good DAC dongle for the Android Phone/Laptop, to work well with the Letshuoer z12 (planar), up to 130eur range. I have 3 options so far: Moondrop Dawn 4.4, Hiby FC4 or Fiio KA5? I'm more oscillating between the last two? Any recommendation or is there any other...

So I got a Chimera cable with the new Z12 purchased. However, i have a problem with the 3.5mm termination which is a TRS, i would like a TRRS plug. Basically my stupid samsung phone has problems with the TRS plug, but not TRRS (took me a week to realize the cause). So for me the simplest...

I was thinking to jump directly into the 200-300$ range. No matter how good the IEMs have become today in the sub 100$ bracket, i think the difference vs Blon-03 cannot be too noticeable. I would rather go with something like 7Hz Timeless AE or something similar as l can afford it. i'm afraid i...

I see. I forgot to mention, i am talking about YTM Premium (not the regular version), so I assume the quality is higher, i understood something like 256kbps AAC, which should be quite decent.

Thanks for the answer! Should i understand from your answer that file quality/source file is above the Dac/amp ? (we are excluding now really crappy formats like 96kbps...) Would changing YTM to Tidal would make a bigger difference vs phone dac/dedicated dac?

I found more sources like this: https://switchandclick.com/will-a-dac-improve-spotify-sound-quality/ on google where it says: "For streaming music through Spotify, a standalone DAC will make little difference in the sound quality. Most devices already have an effective internal DAC." This is...

I'm thinking to buy a portable DAC (mainly to use with a Samsung phone or laptop ocasionally). I'm looking at KA5, but would it make a difference considering that I listen mainly to YouTube Music (not the best quality service)? Or the difference would be marginal if any? I also don't want to...

Hi all, Old user, but took a break of a few years and a lot has changed since then. I need some beginner advice if possible: I now mainly (95%) use YouTube Music (Premium) for listening music (but i also want to bring my Flac collection back on my phone). I listen both from laptop (at work)...

Hi all, I'm quite an old user and i started my adventure into audio on this forum (which also made me spend some money). Regarding IEMs, I had in the past the GR07 bass (which I loved!, that's why i had them 2 times), but unfortunately even the second pair broke after 1.5 years... RHA MA750...

I need to buy a new pair of IEM as I just lost my previous one in the Airport last week.   So I'm deciding between Sony XB90EX or AD01 ?   I'll be using them from player+amp, but also phone some times. Does the Sony really need amp? I was really curious to check them as I heard good things...
