Hi community,
I have the CustomArts Fibae7 for more than a year now and still enjoy them very much. Lately I have been thinking if I can improve on them with a DAC. I am using them with my Google Pixel 4a which will be replaced with a Pixel 8a once it comes out.
I tested a few DACs, namely Lotoo PAW S2, Ifi hip-dac3, chord2, and a few others and to be honest I couldn't really hear that much of a difference. I am not sure if I could spot the difference in a blind test...
Do you have any recommendations or is the difference not that big with a DAC? Would the difference be more noticable with a DAP?
I am using the IEMs exclusively at home but I would still like to be able to move around the house. Sometimes it would also be nice to connect the IEMs to my desktop.
Any recommendations and inside are very much welcome!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I am searching for something in the $500 range.
Best regards,
Okamikun
