Sorry, I have the Link 2 BAL here with me, I haven't gotten round to it yet. Next up is the Cayin RU6, then the xDuoo
@Ultrainferno did you ever get around to testing the Xduoo Link 2 BAL? Any thoughts on how it compares to the Cayin RU6? Thanks.

Buy Ve megatron, best budget dac amp. You get more than what you pay.

Music player that allows you to use the dongle dac directly instead of using the phone internal dac

Just a hit and run post. Just visiting here. This is a project I'm planning beginning of next year for my grab and go needs. I just finished with a desktop project.



I should be able to install a realtime low-latency OS as the CPU should be strong and modern. 1 USB-C Power although I will power via the pins with a proper beefy low latency battery, but I guess you can battery pack (bottlednecked by a regulator so performance take a hit) it too.

1 USB-C Data for an iPhone Dongle (USB-C DAC). It's the gold standard for portable IEM users as it measure well via ASR.

I will solder off the Ethernet Ports to slim it down. Size 2+inch X 2+inch. 5cm? X 5cm?

I'll just have to configure a Hotspot to remote control via iPhone. This PCB is for the backend. The frontend is on a iPhone.

I'm also considering a portable PCI-E solution with a Audiophile JCAT USB (slim down, size of a small DAP?) card but I don't know how to power PCI-E yet as it has different power requirements.

If I get it working, I'll post.

HEY

What is so special about him? He will run SUNDARA good? its portable?
You should try it. I have pre ordered it so I got it at $50 only. (Now it is $100, still valuable) I use hifiman arya in 4.4 mm and it is great powerful device.
