Waiting for my 9038D to arrive. Got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. Will this adapter do the job?

Thanks.

Works on my redmi note 9 pro.

Thanks. The E1DA just fell on my doormat. Took quite a long time to get here. It came with a normal 15 cm cable.

Anybody here experienced that this dongle sounds very bright? Do I need the special tweak app? Also my Foobar app can't use the dongle as a DAC/amp. No sound. Hiby Music app works though. Maybe a cable problem? What's the difference between a "normal" USB C connector cable and a OTG one? My FiiO DAC/amp works flawlessly with Foobar via USB C adapter. I guess that one is OTG. I also found that this dongle has not enough power for my Takstar planar cans.

Hi, I have the PD2.1 and bought it for my Tin P1s. All good.
Drives them really well and the EQ is fantastic. Sad news is that my righ P1 died so I've replaced them with Fiio FD5s and now I hear a hiss when nothing is playing.
P1 is 20ohm/96dB and the FD5 is 32ohm/109dB. I sould also say that I have a Radsone ES100 and that is deathly quiet.
The PD sounds fantastic still and of course, now comes into its own with my HD6xx, but is it fairly normal to have hiss from the PD with a lot of IEMs and is there any point in looking at a solution...maybe an impedance matching thingy?

I have the 9038D and also found it "bright" but that's because the other DAC's I own have Cirrus or AKM chips in them and they seem to have a bit less detail in the high frequencies-I know testing would say I'm imagining this but that's my experience. I have found it to be my favorite sound as of now. I use the dongle vs my Hiby R5 most of the time. Maybe it's because as I'm aging my ears aren't so sensitive to higher frequencies and this dongle "corrects" this hearing deficit. Who knows.

No, the bright sound has nothing to do with the DAC I guess. Maybe I'll spend the 10€ for the tweak app and see where my ship will strand.

I have the Tweak app. Not sure what you hope it will do to change the sound.

I thought you can correct/equalize any headset with it. Or what is it then?

It's mainly for adjusting the dac filters and controlling the thd of 2nd and 3rd harmonics (in order to get the "fuzzier" tube sound). So nothing as substantial as EQ. Pretty subtle to the overall sound of the device.

Hi guys I want to ask.
What is the main difference between e1da gen3 susumu vs powerdac?

Which is better overall? I already own e1da gen3 susumu.
And what is the latest version of e1da powerdac?

PowerDac v2.1 is a desktop unit as it gets pretty hot. There’s an Android/iOS app with a full PEQ and it’s around the same power output as the 9038. Not for sensitive IEMs. All details are on their website https://e1dashz.wixsite.com/index

It works great with the HiByMusic player but I don't like the UI. I'm used to Foobar and it worked great in USB mode with my FiiO Andes DAC/amp. The E1DA doesn't. Foobar doesn't recognize it. Which player do you recommend that has as many options as Foobar and recognizes the E1DA as a DAC/amp? Thank you.

You might try joining their Discord and chatting there. If there's a way for Foobar to recognize the E1DA they will be able to tell you.

I think this is impossible as Windows is the. Driver not foobar?

No, it's an Android app. It outputs USB to my FiiO Andes DAC/amp no problem.
