That's really good results, but $45 is a lot of money as well. Not sure if worth if, if Apple can still provide excellent DAC and sufficient amp in terms of output power as well for $7. These dongles are easy to lose, and $45 is very hard to swallow in such a scenario.

But the Apple has compatibility issues on Android phones, of course...

Still excellent of Meizu to release such an excellent product. It's surely a winner if you use it at home on your laptop or desktop PC permanently--performs excellently compared to dedicated DAC/Amps well above its price range and technically takes up no extra space.

I have no problem using Apple's with my Pixel

It used to be small size was a severe limitation, but not anymore.

@amirm Please try using UAPP. Preferably with Bit-Perfect enabled but doesn't matter either way.
(with it enabled you can change volume by clicking the three vertical bars top right and then Hardware Vol.)

I measured 295mW (58.6mA) when playing Spotify or UAPP, 315mW (62.3mA) when playing DSD over PCM, and only 12mW (2.4mA) @idle.
