New Head-Fier
Nice to become member of community and big greetings from Croatia.
I have been reading forums last seven days, my eyes almos fell out and Im still not clear about something.
I am using Samsung galaxy s8 for any kind of music/youtube/movie files for reproduction..MAINLY YOUTUBE. As all of us know Samsung S8 is so terribly and patethically bad source due to limited volume output, the worst phone I ever had- volume is so low through 3.5mm that I lost will to use it. Btw- I am guitar handbanger got used to tube amplifiers.
Also it is known that its not easy to find dac/amp which will work through s8 usb output.
My primary goal is to achieve cleaner sound with more volume than s8 to use it in a CAR system through aux in. Amp is pretty decent Alpine 5 channel PDR V75.
Im pretty sure that aux in is bypassing HU dac (also pathetic dac)... and after days of search of Fiio's and similar devices i stubmbled on Astell and Kern XB10.
Blutooth new generation, dac/amp with good reviews and nice adittion of built in microphone for phone calls.
Question is- is it going to be LOUDER AND CLEARER trough aux in in the car? Im asking coz im bit lost with tracing data about power outputs and output voltages of portable dac/amp's..
Also I saw Arcam miniblink.
At the moment I am working in the ship and I cant see youtube reviews, but Im planning tu purchase device to wait me home whn I arrive.
Budget is not restricted but I believe 200$ would be decent for this purpose.
Please guys, I could use advice.
Astell and Kern Xb10 or something else to reproduce youtube mainly, but also mp3, mp4...with better clarity and volume.
Thank you.
