WTB or swap: Apple dongle, US version

[TheBatsEar]

I'm looking for the infamous US Apple dongle, but living in Europe, i only get the one with the limitations.

No need for the original package either, just tossed in an envelope should do the trick.

I'll have one coming to me now. Thanks

What limitations? Volume limitations on android? It's an android issue rather than the dongle issue.

Nevermind.

Hardware limitation because of EU laws yes. US/intl is 1Vrms, while the EU is 0.5Vrms iirc.

Sure? I was under the impression the US version had a few mW more oompf. I'll reread the review thread.

It appears to be voltage limited as well. I use my (US) apple dongle dac on my (edit:windows) laptop at work daily, and it's flawless, but it's very quiet on my oneplus 7 pro.

I was in the same situation. I'm from Germany. Bought mine on eBay from a US seller for an equivalent 22€. It took a month to arrive.

Btw, here's each version's max Vrms vs load before clipping sets in:

Thanks. So i'm looking for someone willing to send me one.

Did you get a dongle yet?

 

[TheBatsEar]

Nope, one offer, but it fizzled out.

Do you offer help? If so, send me a sum and paypal adress per PM.
Just put the dongle into an envelope, no need for the entire box.

 

[RobL]

I have a couple here, but not USB C—> 3.5mm. I may head to the city this week at some point and can probably pick one up for you.

I guess the ones we get in Canada are the same as the US version…

Well, that would be easy to measure with a voltmeter. If you can get more than 0.5 volts out of it, it's not limited.

Would be nice if you could help me out.

It's on the way - it's been a crazy week for me, but I did get to the Post Office.

There is one on it's way, no need for the Canadian version. But thanks, anyway, you are a hero.

Cool, send me a PM with your Paypal and cost you had.
Thanks

How much did it set you back in the end?

I love the UK version I use almost daily into 64 ohm 'phones but got to say a little more output would be nice is it's possible. I'll have a look at US eBay and see what's available. Bit peed off the sellers all have to charge £10 to £15 on average for shipping

 

[staticV3]

@DSJR you can buy the Meizu HiFi for £19 including shipping. Not sure if importing an A2049 is still worth it at that point.
