I have a Dunu DTC500 Dongle DAC. It has both 3.5 SE and 4.4 bal output. When I use either output to IEMs, it works perfectly fine at medium to low volume. However, whenever I crank up volume to over 2/3, on my iPhone, the DAC makes a strange sizzle noise, the connection light fades, and the audio cuts out and gets choppy.
These symptoms are more prevalent with IEMs that command more power and the 4.4 output is much more sensitive to this occurrence.
Is this a power issue stemming from iPhone? The Apple dongle 3.5 SE works MUCH more consistently and does not exhibit the same issues compared to the Dunu DAC when in 3.5.
