MEIZU Hifi Pro USB-C Phone Dongle DAC Review

[goldark]

Hello all, finally upgraded to a phone without a headphone jack so in need of a USB-C dongle.

I tried to find this model on AliExpress but it was a little confusing as to which model was the same as this one. Can anyone point me to a link to purchase this? Thanks ahead of time!

It has been long discontinued. I suggest this one below instead.

Thank you, sir! Are there any measurements available for it?

No measurements that I know of, but I own 2 units and use them daily without issues.

These tiny dongle DACs don't have much more than the all-in-one DAC chip AFAIK, so the DAC specs is pretty much what we would get from the end product I suppose. In this case, ESS ES9281 with SNR 110dB, DNR 123dB and THD+N -114dB is pretty good. Plus it has mic support for using a 3.5 mm cable with inline mic. And DSD and MQA for the folks into that...

Thanks, I put in an order for 2 of them.

Isn't it better to be getting a Moondrop one instead, for the same price I suppose

Moondrop Dawn Pro similarly priced has a different form factor and doesn't support mic cable for calls, so if those looking for these feature Keysion dongle is surely a nice option, along with the even cheaper Jcally JM30 Pro that should measure fine on par of the JM 20 reported here https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ed-to-cirrus-logic-cs43131.23138/post-1720255

Moondrop has the Click dongle supporting mic, even cheaper but I don't know much about it and suppose it's a very basic dongle, probably 1 V output.

I did't remember L7 measured it, this confirms my concerns https://www.l7audiolab.com/f/moondrop-click/

Again, I LOVE seeing what makers are able to do in such price brackets.

High price in DACs and such tends raise more concerns, and usually it shows in measurements too.
