Is 230 mW per channel @ 32 ohm in balanced mode.

 

[akde06]

Yeah I understand. Just wanted to know the meaning of these ratings. Is this 230mW per channel or just 230 mW? Is every DAC specification supposed to mean /ch even if they don't write it exc

 

[akde06]

Yes. 230mw@32ohm per ch.

 

[kemba1291]

Yes. 230mw@32ohm per ch.

Damn, I was grossly misled into believing that the Lotoo PAW S1 was more powerful than the Shanling UA1 just because it mentioned 70mw/ch instead of just 100mW in the case of UA2. That means the UA2 comes out to 200 mW. Shop owner will do anything to sell higher priced items.

Yes. Lotoo 120mw@32ohm vs u2 195mw@32 in balance mode. But lotoo has the quality and EQ feature which has more impact on music rather than non EQ powerful dac/ amp. That's make s1 costlier than u2 inspite of low power of the former.

That's fine as an argument. But trying to say the lotoo paw s1 is more powerful than UA2 just to force a sale is obviously wrong.

Yes of course it is wrong to sale the product in this way. I will suggest before buying audio gear just google products specs from the manufacturer itself.

Look also on this

Which dongle is this?

 

[Mitr1anton]

Which dongle is this?

Hiby FC5

 

[kemba1291]

Hiby FC5

This has only balanced port if I am not wrong.

 

[akde06]

This has only balanced port if I am not wrong.

Yeah.

 

[kemba1291]

Yeah.

Just saved me an intense guilt trip, thank you.

Damn it. I'm probably going to have to get this now More for the improved functionality than any of the other "upgrades".

What headphones are people using this with that you with moar power? I've never, ever needed to go above 60 on high gain. I mean, it's a dongle. You guys and your obsession with power output is a little weird to me.

Yeah. That's the catch. Go for quality amp/dac dongle rather than more powerful dongle.
