I am down to one DAP and one big boy dongle (almost DAP size). But its fun to see what people like currently.

There probably isn’t too many iPhone or iPhone 15 people in this thread, but I have an interesting observation about the 15 and its USB-C.

I’ve been using an iPhone 13Pro with an Apple lightning to 3.5mm dongle. Today I received the 15Pro Max and already owned the official Apple USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. I don’t know if the USB-C dongle actually has more power at the end of the volume control or not, but the USB-C dongle is about 7-8dB louder than the Lightning dongle at the same place on the volume control. Apples own dB headphone “measurement” that’s built into iOS shows a higher volume.

With my Aful Performer 8 IEMs I’m listening a full two notches lower to achieve the same volume. I get about 7-8dB higher on my Focal Elex at 50% on each.

I’m in the US with all US dongles and a US phone and all that.
