Check Andy's website, this should help you narrow it down:Hello everyone,
Im looking for a low powered dac dongle for my beloved earbud (Shozy BK 16 ohm) could you guys recommend me one.
Im looking for a neutral sounding dac because i listen to a lot of jazz, i like a sparky treble, airy high, forward mid for females vocals.
For technicality side eg. soundstage and details i just want it to be competent because this earbud already have a great detail and soundstage.
I have apple dongle and very impressed with it, it sound so clean and have a great synergy with the Shozy, however the build quality leave much to be desired.
I have Fiio KA3 which is very neutral and much more analytical but it pulled out so much power that I actually used that with my 6xx instead, not a great pair with low sensitive earbud.
I have V.E odyssey and not impressed, too warm for my taste.
So for now I’m looking for a dongle dac which performs like apple dongle but with a great build quality, what do you guys have in mind?
( I will use it with my IPad air so apple compatibility would be great in addition)
