DC04 is only any good if your headphones are balancedCheap stuff iBasso DC04.
More expensive EarMen Sparrow.
Buy a W2 - that is the best and if you want to save money W1 from L&P is already top. From may comments i took the resume that Lotoo is almost as good as W1 but not as powerful. I currently use a W1 and will upgrade to W2
I read your review. Well done.
The Hidizs S9 is a compact digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and amplifier combination unit which connects to the source devices via USB-C. The S9 is the first Hidizs product I have reviewed since the AP60II digital audio player.
The Hidizs S9 differentiates itself from other options at this price point mainly through having both 3.5mm single-ended and 2.5mm balanced outputs on a single device comparable in both size and price to competitors that only offer one type of output. Importantly, S9’s unbalanced output is completely usable as opposed to being an afterthought. Some of the S9’s competitors offer superior heat management or more efficient power draw requirements, but it is difficult to argue with the value proposition the S9 presents.
My full review is available on my blog:

I looked on Amazon and Aliexpress, but found nothing.Fellow iphone users, do you know where I can find an otg cable similar to the one below? This is included in a bundle for the dc03, but I only need the adapter and ibasso doesn’t sell them separately afaik. I specifically want it instead of something like the tc28i because as a cable it’s less of a pain to handle. Also it’s bendable
I have the Lightning version of that and It is fine for meI've read through the last month or so of posts and just wanted to ask (since I'm getting a phone without a headphone jack for the first time) - is this my best choice below $50 or so, for listening only to IEMs which my Samsung S10e powers just fine?

How much would I be losing going with something closer to $25, and is the Tempotec Sonata the best choice around there?
Thank you!
It looks like you broke this thread.Do we have a thread for 2.5mm balanced dongles yet?
I am currently searching for a 2.5mm balanced dongle with mqa support to pair it up with the Penon Orb.
Maybe one should open a new thread for that.
