Strange... Absolutely no problem with my Moondrop Dawn PRO and my Windows10 Laptops, Linux-PCs or Android devices. No driver installed and OOTB recognized in Windows with up to 384kHz/32bit support.

Great to know, thank you.
Will try with another cable then and see how that goes. Have tried multiple USB ports on the PC, no difference.
Edit: New cable fixed the issue!

Hello does anyone know if CEntrance DACport HD is available anywhere in Europe?

I see that andy still rate it as 10/10. It looks very good analogue dongle with power amplifier for over ear cans. stange that this dongle if so good does not referred much from users.

Is anyone has it so as to give any feedback compared to new dongles?

Thanks

To my knowledge it's out of stock in Europe. Some people were able to buy leftover stock in USA.

EPZ TP50 and Questyle M12i are the newest top rated dongles by Andy, so similar in signature and readily available.

does anyone know where to buy philips usb-c dongles from?

I found one site but it only ships to America

EPZ TP30 arrived today but I can't understand from the volume whether low gain or high gain is activated... strange. Has this happened to you too? Thank you.

Looks like a TP50 in the photo. Nice collection!

Yes the one below is the TP50 and the one above is the TP30.

I got the EPZ TP50 a few days ago, prompted by Andy's favorable review. My initial assessment is that it's excellent, and a substantial improvement over the Tanchjim Space and the iBasso DC04Pro, at least through my MP145. The combination is pretty amazing, IMO. Looking forward to reading others' impressions.

The TP50 and the DC04 Pro share the same chip (essentially) and the same output stage (same opamps). In what way do they sound significantly different with all those major similarities ?
If anything one of them should have some extra mojo it should be the DC04 Pro as it goes through the ibasso FPGA.

W4 vs Elite please especially with highly sensitive IEM, if possible

It's not quite the same chip because the DC4PRO uses a dual CS43131 while the TP50 uses a dual CS43198... both made by Cirrus Logic anyway. However, the sound of the DC04PRO is more focused on softness while that of the TP50 is more focused on details.

W4 vs Elite please especially with highly sensitive IEM, if possible

Both are excellent dongles and in my experience (Mest MKII) neither has problems driving very efficient IEMs but they differ in consumption (lower on the W4), in handling (lighter and more compact the W4) and above all in the sound. I honestly prefer that of the iBasso, clearer sound, with better integrated and less exaggerated details and with a certainly superior richness of sound and wider sound stage.

Questyle M12i

nope M12.

@Polky74 For over ear cans such as HD600 would you prefer M1P or TP50?

I wasn't able to try the Sennheisers with the dongles because I still don't have a 4.4mm cable, but from what I've read around it shouldn't be a problem to drive the HD600 (albeit with the obvious limitations). What you should decide instead is whether you prefer the HD600 to be filled with a more musical and analog sound (M1P) or more oriented towards details and resolution (TP50).

What I recommend instead is to buy a Customs Cans kit for HD600 which will allow you to modify the sound of the HD600 according to your preferences depending on the sponge you wish to use... I prefer "3". I purchased it for my HD6XX and it really modifies the sound in a simple and very efficient way.

Thanks for the recommendation I didn't know about that!

So can HD600 be improved a bit by having bigger soundstage and a bit more sub bass with the kit?

As of your personal taste which one dongle do you prefer from the above two dongles? And overall.

Thanks
