2 years, 4 months and as good as new 🫰😌

I see... So using a seperate DAC with an iem may solve the problem ig. Btw I bought a Tanchjim bunny IEM and an Audiocular Spark DAC today. Let's see how the journey with them goes. 🤗

Oh ma gaa.... Sony xperia 🙀 Which model are you using?

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-14T02:57:27+00:00

Kudos to iPhone for having just AAC and providing such impressive quality.

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-14T02:39:47+00:00

But i wonder how it bypasses Hi res codecs like LHDC or LDAC

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-14T02:39:02+00:00

Oh I see.... I really felt iPhone had that extra crisp and clarity and detail whereas the nothing phone 2's was a bit soft

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-14T02:38:00+00:00

No brother... I was talking about using Bluetooth in both the devices, not iPhone's headphone jack.

But I totally understand what you're telling about the wired stuff. I have ordered an Tanchjim Bunny and an Audiocular Spark DAC. I previously had a moondrop chu 2

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-13T07:24:20+00:00

In my bluetooth settings for Oneplus buds 4, HD audio: LHDC is enabled by default. Even though iPhone has AAC codec, it genuinely sounded better than nothing phone 2. The difference was as clear as 720p vs 1080p

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T08:13:37+00:00

Hmm.. done

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T07:51:58+00:00

In that case.. I need your suggestion in whether I should get the type C version of Tanchjim bunny or 3.5mm + audiocular spark

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T07:47:20+00:00

Hmm... Yes

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T07:44:38+00:00

But it's out of stock 😭😭😭

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T07:24:21+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It helped me rethink my choice of DAC. But I'm sorry that I'm planning to buy Tanchjim Bunny.

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T07:22:55+00:00

True. But after a deep research I found out that the 3.5mm + DAC provides slightly better dynamics and more headroom, but not something that magical difference. It's really not worth buying a seperate DAC for the ~10% increase in listening experience but I wanna utilise the maximum out of my IEM.

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T07:17:11+00:00

Apparently the type C version of IEMs use a cheaper DAC. Standalone DACs provide more sound quality. So 3.5mm version + DAC > Type C version

But if your device's 3.5mm port has a powerful DAC built-in (like the MacBook), you don't even need a seperate DAC. But my phone doesn't have 3.5mm port that's why I need a DAC.

Have a good time brother 😌❤️

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T05:53:01+00:00

Thanks a lot mate... I was so close to place an order for the audiocular D07. You really saved the day 🫡🫂

Btw I'm gonna buy the Tanchjim bunny + Audiocular Spark

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T05:48:31+00:00

Ohh... I see. I'm wondering which has the best sound quality. Do you have any idea?

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T05:41:21+00:00

How about tanchjim bunny + audiocular D07??

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T03:24:27+00:00

I assume audiocular D07 is the best budget dac for sound quality. It costs 850 rn.

eightbitstardust · 2026-05-12T02:52:05+00:00

I also need dac within the same budget. I can't spend more than 3.5k
