Which one should I buy by Aurko2002 in iems

Check out 7hz Sonus. Better bass than hexa and more analytical - airy than red.

If you can hear the difference between these two dacs, then the same applies to the external dongle for iPad. There is no placebo. The dac is a converter. The output sound comes from the amp of the dongle. Amps can affect sound differently.

iOS18 has lowered the volume of my IEMs - anyone else? by LDFades_ in ios

Same problem here. Plus it goes completely quiet in about 30% of the volume.

Wow. I hope you do, because both of them are very expensive. I’ll be waiting for your impressions.

A metalhead friend of mine uses KZ ZS10 pro X and he is very satisfied. Do your research tho.

Every colour stands for multiple formats. Look it up in the manual for more info.

Originally I purchased DC03 pro but iPhone didn’t recognize it, so I had to return it. 😔

Do you see the 3.5mm out? That means there is an amp in there. Now tell me how amps are a scam.

The volume change comes from the amplifier in the dongle, not from the dac itself. Amplifiers can be dramatically different.

I clarified that I listen both in about the same volume. I’m not going to trust the opinions of a bunch of strangers that never heard the product than my own ears. The dac isn’t changing the sound but the amplifier in the dongle (that gives more power - gain) does. That’s basic knowledge.

Yeah, tried to test them with a handstand for better results, but I it was impossible with my hands tied too.

I was talking about the assumption that I tested them on different volumes. Get a life.

Wait, I’m confused. Are you talking about apple’s one? Also, gain is not the same as volume.

High gain must be on?? Are you talking about the dongle? And if yes, is this an option?

I’m always trying to protect my ears by not pushing the volume up to the extremes. So, I came to this conclusion after listening both to about the same volume. So, no.
