Despite the very good numbers on SINAD if I wanted to question the duration of the battery on the mobile phone ..... how long will it last draining the dongle at 2V voltage even with efficient IEM .... 45 minutes with headphones, 2-3 hrs with an IEM I guess?? .... At the end, the real use of this dongle (dongles in general) is at least questionable.

Very likely, as they use the same dac chip, same size and button layout, etc.
Just like SMSL Idea and Sabaj DA2 share the same insides.

So the Hidizs would be equivalent to the Sonata HD non pro, with an ADC so using a mic is possible ?
