E1DA DACs Discussion Thread (PDV2, 9038S, 9038D, 9038X, HiFiToy, HPToy)

Is it possible to use any of e1da with bt receiver? I want to stream LDAC from mobile phone(mostly from tidal) to some bt receiver and then to e1da device?

Maybe phone -> LDAC -> FIO BTR3 -> Type-C cable -> E1DA 9038S -> 2.5 headphones?
You are better off with ES100. It has a capable BAL out with LDAC.

Will there be a Low battery consumption version be made? I don’t mind lesser power as Long can drive a 1xx dB iem
9038S and (upcoming)9038D has moderate batt consumption (90mA idle) which is actually less than other dongle DACs. Operating current depends on your volume/HP impedance but a good 4~5 hrs at least from smartphone should be no problem.

but ES9038Q2M is a way better then AK4375a
Don't judge a DAC by only its model number. ES100 has gotten much praise.

Or Fiio Q5S. I really don't know any BT receiver with USB out. Doesn't make sense for the manufacturer to produce one.

Contender 1 has arrived: Meizu HiFi DAC Pro.
Waiting to be challenged by Contender 2: E1DA 9038D!

Wait, why does it look different from the official photo? did I buy the wrong model....?!?!

OK I think I have bought the non-pro version. Did not know there were 2 models available and I thought they were on sale at 29.90..... pffff. My bad.
BUMMER.

meizu non Pro: CS43131, no OPA spec stated, just "16-600Ω self adaptive impedance range"
Meizu Pro: Same DAC, same SNR/DNR/THD+N. Only difference is OPA spec stated "OPA1622". probably thats the only difference for charging $20 more.

From the official Chinese MEIZU store:
NON PRO VERSION
PRO VERSION

Those products are very confusing. I wish that someone would compare the both of them. Their specs are the same, so I don't know what the addition of the OPA1622 brings to the table.

Something doesn't add up.

CS43131
OPA1622

According to the MEIZU, the specs given on both of the products is of the regular version, since the PRO version must have much bigger output power due to the use of the OPA1622, unless it's used as a buffer for some reason.

Exactly. My bad, I only thought there were one version before I received mine and realised I was a noon, did not check out more info about it before ordering. Yes something is fishy. Why even with OPA1622 the specs are exactly the same? Weird.

The PRO version is supposed to be a China only product since it's only posted on the Chinese MEIZU website.

The Shanling M1 does USB output when used as a BT receiver, I'm pretty sure the M0 does as well.

FYI

Hiby R3 is not crap a muddy fogcanon anymore and i can plug this combo on the back of any small or big DAP that spounds like crap :wink:

really you can have your 9038s alien facehugger on the back of any dap :wink:)
