Waiting for this dac type c to launch soon...


Interesting. 32bit, balanced out, mic (the little hole in the picture seems to be a mic)...

Curious about how can perform such little adapter in balanced, without internal power.

Manual upgrade / downgrade is not worthy as it's very risky.
If anything go wrong , only Vivo after sale service can undo what you've done .

Correct and that means it's time for China Trip.

I'll be waiting for it! I like more AK than ESS sound and being so cheap, maybe I'll give it a try too. Thanks for the info! :beerchug:

It is said so. Don't know for sure, but ESS sound (tried LG V30) IMO is "colder" than e.g. ES100. But I listen to lots of rock and metal (maybe with other genres like classical, a more "analytical" DAC would be better).

Well iam using always JetAudio as my favorite music app. I know most of u do not accept this, most of u like balanced outputs, DSD, Flac, but i'am listening only drum and bass: neurofunk. There is not so easy to find flacs, wavs from new releases in this case for me working just 320. In JetAudio i like AM3D and Crystalizer. First one making more 3d bass and second one making music more clean and give more power. Always playing with this two options, since each track is so different and headphones also. Also my v30+ rooted and i found out how to make it play without any hardware not just in aux mode, but with all amp power at any headphones, without 50om limitations. Also about sound can say, easier to find headphones, that can play warmer or colder.

Looking for a music phone.
Price range: 400
IEM/ Headphone used: will adapt to the phone. Do not have anything worthy now.
Screen size: does not matter
What kind of sound you wanna get: more warm? more detail? bigger soundstage? Detailed for sure. Larger soundstage would be nice.
What kind of music you mainly listen: Pop? Rock? EDM? Orchestra? Rock/Alternative/Rap (not basshead)/ classic
Special request: 2018-2019 production year.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
