I'm ok with battery powered devices - the M11 does a decent job of driving my Z1Rs for instance. But yes, dongles means you do save money due to versatility - if it sounds as good as say a Hiby R6 2020. Unfortunately I do not think it'll sound as good as the M8, DX300 etc - though I'm just waiting for people to sell get bored and move on to the newest toy and grab a flagship DAP then, lol.

I'm likewise "ok with battery powered devices" too....because I have to be, hahahaha. It is what it is: if I don't want to be tethered to a spot with desktop gear, I need battery powered. I just refuse to pay the flagship-level prices; this is definitely a case of "can pay" versus "willing to pay" above a certain amount (arbitrarily set, admittedly) for a device with a degrading-over-time power source. Things get more complicated for me since I also don't want to use my phone as a transport or source.

Anyway, I'm gonna watch threads like this for more mentions of any emerging tech/new gear. I totally forgot the XDuoo X10Ti even existed until I came across this thread. Given the explosion of quality dongles, I'm somewhat surprised it remains (I think?) the only device of its kind.

I needed some help to find those devices, that;s why I started this thread even. Glad you found it helpful.

The other thing is, I think that quality gear sometimes just need more space. Either for bigger caps or better layout. A larger chasis gives the designer more freedom and space to work with. Dongles being what they are just isn't quite up to the game.

Hello,
has anyone tried a 1TB memory card in Xduoo X10t II?

I'd say that even if dongles don't compete with bigger stuff, they still can sound great for their price!

Hidisz S9 seem a decent dongle? Never used it but I hear it measures very favourably.

Looks nice enough to me, though I am looking for a source instead of a dongle. Nice find nonetheless.

My guess is that it would be fine, since it is all under the SD XC category.

hey everyone! So it's 2023, are the only options for a portable pure transport device STILL just Tempotec V1 and Xduoo X10t ii ? or are there other promising devices ?

I own the V1 and I wanted to get an extra unit, but it looks like it's out of production. or at least it's out of stock for stores that I can access. The Xduoo X10t ii just looks dated to me since I got used to the V1's touch screen.

Yeah, buttons are so 20th Century!
