MEIZU Hifi Pro USB-C Phone Dongle DAC Review

[Jimbob54]

Thanks! It's saying 20-40 days for shipping, I feel thoroughly spoilt by Amazon, used to getting stuff in hours or days not months!

Don't suppose you've tried a SoundblasterX G1 or G6 have you? Be interesting to see how comparable they are!

Thanks,

Probably quicker than that. No i don't but there is a g6 review thread live on here

I ordered the Meizu pro from Ali Express on April 25th, and it has not even shipped yet! They say another 36+ days! Has already been 25 days. Having lived in China , I should have known better.

How odd. It said they had 80 in stock last night so no idea why yours hasnt been sent already!

And yeah, UAPP is one of the only apps I have paid money for and had no regrets!

I did like this:

Now there is no noise from the 4G signal.

Nice, I shall try this, is it because of the cable not having any shielding?

Yes, there is a problem with shielding.
I tried another version with shielding. I wrapped the entire device with aluminum foil. From above everything was sealed with a shrink hose. This design seemed to me not very successful for the connector. When used on the road, this may not be very convenient.

Ah yes, sorry, thought you were the chap above saying he had been waiting weeks

At home I have zero issues as I am on WiFi, I only observed the RFI when I was out shopping last weekend. Not an issue when the music's playing as long it's not classical genre.

Now and then I pick up my meizu dongle and I'm wowed again by how good a simple silly dongle can sound.
I should convince myself to do this every time I want to buy new gear I really don't need...

I just bought my third Pro. At £30 all done (unless the customs man is being mean) . At that kinda price its worth putting one on all my "walking" IEMs rather than wonder which case it currrently resides in

Hahah, don't tempt me.. but yes. I'm actually using non-pro myself, being a cheap bastard

If we practised what we preached and said the measurements suggest minimal to no audible difference between , I would too. I can hardly fall back on the appearance and function defence for spending more $$$

But, it says Pro, so must be better . Yeah?

I'm sure it is a teensy tiny bit better.

HiFi is what got me... well before Pro did!

I bet you bought the xDuoo XD05 because it said 'Plus'.
