They should make a new business of selling a secondary $30 super premium remote and I bet that they would have a good number of customers buying it.

You should be able to leave it on all the time

you can connect another DAC via Optical for better performance. I personally use it as is since I listen to it to go to sleep and as background music. The quality is more than fine with a normal set of speakers or a soundbar.

Performance is pretty decent, about 12-15db better than the Denon HS2 for around the same price.

This is pretty incredible for the price overall. it is really nice to see what is available for a low price here in 2024.

I'm not sure but maybe @JohnYang1997 can give you some insight.

Kind of weird, maybe an issue with power.

Maybe the USB port you plugged it in with didn't provide enough power and your headphones are a little bit heavy.

I'm glad you figured this out at the end of your post. Both versions have the same hardware for audio. It's only that the screen version has a screen as well with a little controller that allows the volume and such to be changed. I find that this dongle has extremely clean output and I cannot...

Best is to not support Schiit at all as they are a terrible company with a garbage track record and are generally horribly dishonest. As far as the sound; they are both going to be fine but the Heretic definitely is cleaner objectively. When I had a Magni 3 years ago; I found the sound to be...

I don't think that power consumption is an issue unless it is a huge number. Most audio gear uses under 20W even for Hifi gear (obviously big speaker amps will use more) including DAC's or headphone Amps, pre-amps, etc... Most of it doesn't even use 5W. I live in FL and we definitely use ovens...

Looks to be the same?

These little adapters are quite good these days. I remember when performance like this was found in actual desktop products with discrete power supplies and such

I think it would be crazy if it didn't.

Wow the performance is amazing and the price is great too! This is like the Topping EX5 that I have been using for 1+ year already. It is really everything I need in a single unit, and it wasn't too expensive either. This one has a nicer display and such but overall I still like my EX5. Glad...

Both are so good that there is no way to hear a difference between that and anything else. Parametric Equalization (PEQ) can definitely change the sound to your favor. I know I use my amp with tone controls every day and love the ability to adjust the sound to my liking. PEQ is like tone control...

Yeah, it's true that everything from the 1980s onward was basically digital in some form. And everything that you are playing today, unless it's an original record from 60 to 80 years ago, then it's still going to be a digital copy.

It still shows up in task manager though usually. However it isn't a bad suggestion as people forget with these dongles sometimes.

Yea, but it depends on the mastering of the music like you mentioned. Poorly mastered music or music that was made a long time ago on much worse hardware can often not expose flaws. So it really does depend on what you listen to and at what level. Right now as I write to you; I am literally...

It is just that the DAC has high distortion. Distortion = smooth sound and usually warmer sound. Since higher frequencies multiply distortion. Glad to see that after 2 years you came around and had a revealing. The fact that nobody else posted in the thread in the last 2 years sums up your...
