the only thing the 5k doesnt give you is any depth to the soundstage tho. if you are ok with 2d flat scenes, i second the suggestion. the btr15 isnt too far of regarding 2d but also has many software flaws that might or might not get solved in the future. I own both.I have a HD600 (I don’t use it much…) but don’t have these 2 dongles. Based on the spec, either the UA4 or the FC4 should be fine. Contrarily to what is sometime reported, the HD600 is not that difficult to drive as long as your dongle has enough voltage (power is not the issue here) to handle the high impedance (~300-500 Ohm).
A balanced cable would give you an additional margin.
I saw on the HD600 thread that BT may be a consideration and that you’re not necessarily chasing the “absolute best audiophile experience”. Why don’t you get a Qudelix 5K or Fiio BTR15 instead? They can be used as dongle, and the 5K (I have a couple of those) will give you a whole set of additional features to explore with your HD600…
I’m sure others will have different opinion!
Having said that, the HD600 doesnt offer much of a soundstage (depth and layering) anyways.
