That depends on the load.
With regular adapter, do you mean something like the Apple headphone adapter?
USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
With regular adapter, do you mean something like the Apple headphone adapter?
Across four different measurement sites the most powerful dongle DACs at 300Ω were:
Meizu HiFi: 10mW
Meizu Pro: 10mW
Zorloo Ztella MQA: 14mW
Hidizs S8/Tempotec Sonata HD Pro: 14mW
E1DA 9038S: 38mW
I own every DAC on the list except for the Ztella, in case you have any questions.

Which one most recommended for hd 600?
Exclude e1da and hidizs because the shape is different
Meizu HiFi pro
Both ASR and 0dB confirm that the Meizu Pro is better than the Ztella MQA in every discipline except for output power at 300Ω.
That extra 4mW the Ztella can give you translates to an extra 1.5dB of volume with the HD600, which, to your ear, means that the HD600 can play about 11% louder. I don't think that's worth sacrificing the Meizu's excellent distortion for.

Today my Xduoo Link stop working. Can you recommend similar dongle dac with volume control and track skip button ?

That's the only decent one I can think of with a track skip button but the Sonata HD Pro kills it in sound quality and has volume control at least.
Not kills it only the Cozoy Takt C ,but the Cozoy is expensive

hello,
i have ordered a oneplus nord and because it has no headphone jack i need a proper DAC. what would you recommend ?
i have Linsoul Tin Hifi T2 and some pairs of xiaomi (hybrids,pistons). would a meizu hifi dac (non pro) be a good fit ?
does the meizu hifi dac pro provide any benefits ? (my headphones have only 16 ohms so maybe i dont need it ?)

If you care about bit perfectness and will subsequently play your MP3s or FLACs with a music player like Hiby or UAPP, then you should consider the Pro. The standard version has a bug where playing files at 44.1KHz will result in split-second cutouts a few times per song. The Pro doesn't have this issue.
Since regular music services like Spotify or Play Music or whatever use the Android Audio Pipeline instead of bypassing it, everything played through them will be resampled to 48KHz and this bug no longer exists.
In terms of audio performance the two are very similar. Here are some great comparisons:

My friend who has the meizu pro says it picks up bad cellular interference when used with his samsung phone. U experience that?
I was deciding between this and the sonata HD pro and this cellular intereference thing swung my decision to buy the sonata HD Pro. Quite happy with the sonata HD pro, quiet and dark background with desktop and phone use so far.
