How is comparison between lotoo paw s1 and hidiz s9 pro?

Do they share similar sounding while S1 has volume adjuster and 4.4 mm?

I'm also interested in this comparison, as I want a direct update on my s9, and from the reviews by the author of the post s9 pro and s1 sound very different, but both at a higher level

Lotoo PAW S1 and Hidizs S9 Pro indeed are not similar in sound signature. Quality wise they are within the same bracket. S1 is very matured and smooth sounding vs the more Energetic S9 Pro (which is still smooth as well). The biggest difference is S1 not as powerful as S9 Pro on driving prowess. Matching the volume level on those two means that S1 will need to crank it up almost to 60/100 on High Gain (BAL) driving the heavyweights like DT990 or Magnetic Planars, while S9 Pro at around 50/100

Minor updates on the scoring. Factored in driving power for Tin HiFi P1 at desktop grade fidelity for the 5 stars performer

X1 is out of stock now. I asked the seller about it and he said It'll be back in stock a month later.

Which signature sounds better with P1? S1 being warm and thicker, I imagine

PAW S1 gets 5 stars rating because it is balanced and will synergize with pretty much any cans

Thanks. unfortunately X1 was already sold out as of yesterday on AliExpress. The best for Heart Mirror? any of the top 5 stars worked perfectly as HM is super easy to synergize and drive. Even the 4 stars dongle will still make you smile

Я заказал это. hiby fc3, как он слушает техно, транс, танцевальную музыку? в целом хороший ЦАП? Или e1da намного лучше?
