Hi,

I'm looking for a budget DAC to drive my:
(i) HifiMan HE4XX and
(ii) TinHiFi P1

At the moment I'm using:
(i) an old HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC UAE23 ES9023
(ii) a budget Lusya Fever SA9023A + ES9018K2M
(iii) a Meizu (non-pro) dongle

All of these struggle to drive them.
I have to increase the volume to the max and even add software pre-amp which kills the sound.

Can a Hidizs S8 / Tempotec Sonata HD Pro drive my HifiMan HE4XX and TinHiFi P1 without resorting to full volume / pre-amp increase?

Could someone help?

Thanks
