Honestly you need both. I believe the Otg option gives both cables, hence it's higher price.

I think for sensitive iems and headphones in general, the iematch 2.5 greatly helps in lowering background hiss and better manage volume headroom. My windows system volume only needs to go as high as 10/100 to reach my normal listening volumes, it's that powerful. Turn the master volume to full and control the volume via the music app and the system notification sounds will blast your ears, don't risk it. And the iematch has that spacer in the jack as well so 2.5mm jacks with fat barrels can be used with it.

I made an order, let me check when it arrives, right now using LG V40->Arrow 4G-> P1 and happy with SQ. Bass boost and High Gain on 4G is better than P1 with Mojo, will be interesting to check with E1da.

works great with tape but i cant tell you for sure if it has a high frequency hiss because i have a tinitus.. ok usually i hear any annyoing high frequency stuff directly because i am a professional with this :wink:
. i have not recognized any noise that should not be there. it also is super loud on 30% windows volume..
gets much louder at same volume than tin p1 for example

Hi, recently got my 9038S. A fantastic pairing with Cayin N3.
Volume control and equ adjustment at N3 end.
This pair feeding Tin Hifi P1 is giving me total aural pleasure !!
Clarity, transparency, and instrument separation in another level. And such a black background.
Life is good.....
@josesol07 : Wich firmware version do you have on your N3 ?
With mine, I can't adjust the volume, when a device is connected on the USD-C. My Cayin N3 has the last firmware V3.1

@ido77, hi, I also have firmware 3.1 on mine. Have selected "USB" on USB mode, and "headphones" on output mode.
When you connect your E1DA to the N3 do you get a message "connecting audio device" on N3 screen?
Have you tried with another USB-C to USB-C cable?
regards
Jose

Pretty new here. I just ordered a Tansio Mirai TSMR3 Pro.. Since it's very efficient it seems that a 9038 might be a better choice? Also---I tried reading through most of this thread---I need a recommendation for a not-too-expensive balanced cable for the Tansio Mirai. Also--any word on the 9038D?
BTW--my name is Michael Arnopol. I'm a jazz bassist and my trio played at the CAMJAM here in Chicago 10 years ago!

It is better.. it is always better..thats no joke and once you listen to that amps you will nod..I will win all the time unless you look for a bluetooth solution..

I listen to sooooo muchflac Jazz music now and it sounds amazing on both dacs.. with or without EQ...Well actually my AKG k340 ruins everything thats hooked to my crappy khadas atom.. but ok..
For mobilr clarity and sensitive IEMS the 9038s is really amazing and the better choice with more usability ...hard to beat.. ( i dondt get money for writing this!! damned :wink: those dacs sound sooooo good and are compact like nothing)
