USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
Jan 29, 2020 at 7:21 AM Post #1,021 of 6,508
I got the Meizu Hifi Dac Pro dongle, and although the sound quality is very good (and it is much louder with my Fiio FA7 than the Sony NW-A105) I find it is very susceptible to electric interference. I can hear it pick up on the WIFI and GSM signal all the time. Also the cable is very thin, I am not sure how durable this is.
What is your mobile phone model ???

I think, the way to go for you is the dc01 from ibasso. I own the ibasso and i use it with the p30pro and sometimes with my fiio m11. For me, the sound out of the dc01 is unfortunately a bit netter than m11. Some guys in this forum wrote it too, some weeks ago and i can agree with them.....
Well, M11 is more analytical whether DC01 is U or V shaped. Those are different sound signatures, but definitely M11 as DAP is not worse than usb dongle. Come on, let's be serious. I am using M11 every time I can, unless I want to be ultra portable, then I take DC01 with me. Both are great and I'm not hating on any of them.

I do have slight interference issues with MEIZU Pro when data is on. WiFi is fine. It's mostly noticeable with quiet music and heavy data transfert I guess. Could be much worse but well, its still there.
Next "dongle" I'll buy may be the ikko itm05 when it comes out, depending on the reviews. Anyone backed their indiegogo campaign?

Sony Xperia XZ1c Compact. But I can also here signal interference on my Thinkpad. It is bad shielding. I can reduce it by putting my hand around the Meizu


Same here. And I tried a different one and same issue. Definitely bad shielding and covering with hand does reduce the interference. I personally cannot stand the static noise

Could you share the link? Could not find it at fiio.com.
At Penon Audio it's 17 bucks too. I believe it's without the delivery.
Anyway it's too robust/rigid for our use.
