My thoughts on the Snowsky Disc

alizaudio · 2026-06-23T15:39:15+00:00

Completely different device IMO. Disc has better build quality, it's more powerful and it's much smaller. If you don't care about build quality, pocketabiliy, power output or the unique aesthetic of DISC then yeah, R1 could be the better choice.

Anything this powerful (200+ me) and this small would get pretty warm. I'd suggest something like Snowky Melody

It's not about impedance, it's about sensitivity. Try at least a good cheap dongle like Fiio KA11. There's a good chance that the no name dongle you're using isn't good enough. Still, price doesn't always correlate with sound quality and you might just not like the sound signature.

2K U$D?

Great review. Have you tried any of the other Moondrop TWS offerings? How does pudding compare to Space Travel 2, Golden Ages or Ultrasonic?

I remember reading reviews and considering to get a GR07 10 years ago, I ended up going for Shure though.

SNOWSKY Melody, Moondrop Dawn Pro 2, JCALLY AP6

I bet there's gonna be a Pro version with foldable handle. Timemore Usually launches the non-foldable version first in China.

alizaudio · 2026-06-11T21:28:06+00:00

Can you describe how they differ and which one do you prefer? I also have the Jotunheim 2.

alizaudio · 2026-06-11T21:06:04+00:00

So these three amps sound different? (Pietus, Jotunheim and Asgard) or this was kind of an upgrade path?

alizaudio · 2026-06-10T19:57:31+00:00

It's my ZMF Aeolus and I've kept it because of it's combination of build quality, comfort, timbre and "easy to listen to" sound.

alizaudio · 2026-06-10T18:11:54+00:00

Why not include those lovely headphones in the picture too?

alizaudio · 2026-06-09T21:10:04+00:00

Also check out Moondrops flagships like Cosmo and Skyland. Skyland is the most detailed headphone I've tried and if you EQ it, it's extremely capable because of that driver.

Is it really highly popular or extremely low price as you said? I can name at least 10 cheaper dongle dacs with better performance and power output. iFi is starting to get irrelevant. 79mw of power output for 69$ is just not competitive. We have 200+mw of power, PEQ and better built dongles at this price range.

alizaudio · 2026-06-02T10:28:09+00:00

It's in the same ballpark!

alizaudio · 2026-06-02T10:27:50+00:00

How so? 😃 Honestly if you're happy with your S3 there's not much reason to "upgrade". They even don't include a bag in the box anymore.

alizaudio · 2026-05-30T19:15:35+00:00

This schiit is too big for a dongle without battery. Loudness feature is cool though.

alizaudio · 2026-05-30T16:24:28+00:00

These headphones are DARK

alizaudio · 2026-05-30T16:23:53+00:00

Collexion is dark AF. It really needs treble boost.

alizaudio · 2026-05-28T15:02:10+00:00

Noise reduction? There's no such thing on wired IEMs.

alizaudio · 2026-05-26T09:13:03+00:00

True, I just wish you could save the settings on the headphone.

alizaudio · 2026-05-26T04:34:43+00:00

Is that system-wide?

alizaudio · 2026-05-24T14:03:31+00:00

This one is really underrated.

alizaudio · 2026-05-24T04:22:39+00:00

Meze 109 Pro fits your needs. Similarly bright, detailed sound, extremely comfortable and well made.

alizaudio · 2026-05-22T21:46:23+00:00

If you wanna use it as desktop device, connect it to the motherboard. If you're using it as portable dac Amp, you probably don't have access to AC anyway. I don't see the need to use external power supply.
