Captive (and probably rather fragile) cables? Eww, no thanks.Now TempoTec has released the Sonata E35 for 70 usd, also a dual CS43131 design with physical buttons, but with 3.5 mm phone output.
I see little point on spending +24 usd over their fine Sonata HD Pro for 46 usd.
No, it is not. The Sonata E35 is a dual CS43131 as their ad shows.
I linked the TempoTec official store on Aliexpress. Also there is nothing wrong with Aliexpress, I have dozens of purchases over there. Don't blame the market place, blame the vendors if you got problems.
No, the one you mentioned for 46$ is single dac.
Senseless to open a dispute they never will answer, overdue by 4 weeks and no decision by AliExpress. Soon or later, expect trouble from them. Would never never spend more than one digit purchases there .
I've gotten my requested refund amount on every dispute on ali. I mean it's not perfect but it more than suffices as a marketplace that has a lot of cheap stuff. Haven't really been disappointed, so far. Of course I do prefer a more local dealer with longer warranty, if that's available.
Yes, agreed, the TempoTec Sonata HD Pro is a single DAC dongle. But the point is that using a dual DAC in other products and achieving a similar THD+N, then what is the point of spending extra for the dual DAC? Crosstalk is not that much better either on dual DAC product, so I see no point (same as IVX btw).
I would not mind paying +20 usd for better performance, problem is that there is no measurably better performance on their specs! So why bother?
How do you guess SINAD?
Well that'd be interesting
Hi, where can I read the review? Thank you!
He's saying he's going to send it in for review on this site.
