I'm running it directly out of the Macbook with the included cable, using Mest MKII, High Gain, Tone 1, Fast Filter. It's not bad but the BTR5 has noticeably better soundstage, vocals are more forward, bass is tighter and more impactful, treble is more extended, mids are more forward. Also the imaging is not great on this. The MEST doesn't display the vivid presentation I'm used to. Is this dongle some kind of joke at $300? The only thing I can think of is that I'm using a ddhihifi 2.5 to 4.4 adapter for the W2. But yeah, if this is what it sounds like it's going back today.
