List updated. Thanks for the info.

..AND it has true DAC-out (bypassing the amp chip) reading the specs list to the bottom.

EDIT : weird how its only using the DAC chip on 2.5" balanced-out but you have option of
- DAC or DAC + amp chip on single-end...

A few things:

(1) It will not be a 'true' DAC-out (or line-out if that's what we commonly refer to), as AK4377a doesn't offer a line-out signal. It only has one audio output and it is the headphone-out from its built-in amp section. That means OPA1622 is essentially double amping.

(2) If you look at what @peter123 thread on the K5 and look at the PCB design, it only has one OPA1622. To use OPA1622 on balanced, you will need two OPA1622. My guess is that that will be fairly unpractical since the voltage will be way too high that you will need to further increase your power supply section as well as your battery size just so you can barely drive a handful of very difficult to drive full sized can.

Im trying to make my HD58X wireless for PC use as I didnt find any wireless headphones that fit my needs for many things, can you guys suggest me on adapter for powering these, low latency would be great!

ES100 works great with the HD58X imo.

Hiby W3 added to the list. No more problematic touch control amd barely useable shirt clip - I'll call that a win.

Cool! Can you share any pics or specs? Can't find any info

In Chinese, but the basic stuff is quite understandable: https://www.weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404415035270103356

I do like where these adapters are going. The ES100 has been a great device (even with its quirks). Unfortunately Ido not have expandable storage on my phone.
So I have been looking to get the Shanling M0 too complement my ES100 for local storage. @ClieOS , you have extensive experience with both. How are these 2 comparable soundwise?

Hey, have you considered FiiO M5 instead of M0? Word is it sounds slightly better. And you can use it as a Bluetooth receiver as well as a DAP in case of emergencies

Thanks. I will look into that too. The M0 on papers seems to be more powerful though.

This is a strange post to me, do you recommend a device you've not heard over another device you've not heard? If so it seems pretty meaningless.

FIY the M0 does also act like a Bluetooth receiver (and transmitter)......

Only have the Shanling M1. But it is a much older DAP so comparison probably won't mean much. Generally speaking, Shanling makes fairly good DAP. Not neccesery better but still comparable to the competitions.

Note as mentioned, Shanling M0 won't be able to take call but FiiO M5 can.

I own an M5 and I like it. Also, M0’s supported codec list is very short, whereas M5 supports pretty much all of ‘em.
Also, M5 has 3 hardware buttons instead of a clickable wheel, this might be important for some

AFAIK the M0 support LDAC, Aptx(HD) and AAC. I don't see what other codec one would need.

Are you working for FiiO?

M0 as BT receiver supports AAC(for iPhones), LDAC (for any modern Android) and SBC.

Lack of aptX LL is unfortunate for movies.
