USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best

[Hyde00]

Pee51 is outstanding if you're after colour and richness

You guys are bad influence, so I impulse bought PEE51 while waiting for RU6. They should both arrive more or less around the same time (RU6 I bought last week from another country, PEE51 I bought local shipping).

Very tempted to order Questyle M12 too but I figure I should calm down a little bit LOL.

Will update you guys once I get it.

Any comparison between RU6 and ibasso DC01 or DC03 ?

 

[ExTubeGamer]

I am looking for the cleanest and most detailed sound. Should I take the Hiby FC3 or the iBasso DC05? Currently deciding between them.

When I ordered the RU6 I also considered the PEE51 or S9pro. Can't wait to hear what you think how they compare.
BTW interesting review of the RU6 by Archimago

Maybe the Shanling UA1?
Very clean and detailed, a touch bright.

Can someone please provide me with some sense regarding the hierarchy of the Tempotec models?

Haven't tried the DC05, but the DC03 is one of the best I've ever tried. It was perfect for both critical listening AND a leisurely jam sesh. As for the FC3, I wouldn't recommend it. To my ears, it's not so much "clean and detailed" as it is "bleached and abrasive." And coming from a Grado freak, that's saying something lol. I'm really enjoying my Reiyin DA plus. I also really liked the KA3, but I only listened to it for 30 min or so. Still, that 30 min was enough to make me wanna get one >.>

All that being said, if you still wanna try the FC3 I'd sell you mine lol

The FC3 is supposedly really detailed. The iBasso DC05 is mainly interesting since it's one of the few dongles you can order in my country.

I'm gonna get either one of them next month.

Can you have Fedex, DHL or UPS deliver to you? If so you could order pretty much anything on aliexpress lol. This is the DAC i am using atm. I like it muchly.

It's just that for once I don't want to wait for an AliExpress delivery.

I already own the Shanling UA1. It sounds really good, quite balanced for my taste. A dongle with clearer highs would be better.
