HIDIZS/Tempotec Sonata USB C DAC for $23 HERE

Been stalking this one for a while, it had been $45 with $10 off coupon, now its $33 with the $10 off coupon

u/pacifica333 · 19 pointsr/oneplus

I'd rather get a Type-C dongle DAC. Simple adapters are pretty trash in terms of sound quality, at least on my 6T.


I use this: https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT/

u/mkhaytman · 8 pointsr/Android

I got this one on prime day https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jg5qDbN0QC73Z

Read the reviews, there's a firmware update you'll need to do to get the best quality out of it, but it's solid for the price/size.

u/WhiskeyWhisperer · 4 pointsr/lgv30

It was a difficult choice for me to jump to the OP7 Pro, honestly. I really weighed what I was giving up and gaining between the two. The major points were:

  • Wireless charging. I had to realize I only wirelessly charged at night on my nightstand. I loved that option, but it wasn't sometime I had the ability to take advantage of regularly.

  • Expandable storage. I hate being limited to what comes on the OP7 Pro as far as storage goes, but I opted for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage option to help mitigate my storage loss (I had a 512GB SD Card in my V30 with less than half occupied). What I did gain is transfer speeds on the phone, though I haven't seen quite the increase over USB, but there are variables there I may not be accounting for.

  • Headphone jack/Quad DAC. I love having a headphone jack if for nothing more than the option to use it. I'm not an audiophile, but I liked the option of using wired headphones. To that end, I bought a USB C to 3.5mm adapter with a DAC built in ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_EUfVDbT3SZK54) to make up for the loss of it. I also realized I'm almost exclusively Bluetooth when I'm not at home or stationary elsewhere.

    The smaller points were AOD, knock to wake (which the OP7 Pro has). There's no AOD proper, but it will display an AOD-like screen if you lift/move it.

    All-in-all, I'm very satisfied with the transition, and I think it's a proper upgrade despite losing some features. But, everyone has their needs, and the V30 is still such a good phone that I fully understand your decision.
u/Dirtdiver90 · 2 pointsr/OnePlus7Pro

If you're an audiophile then try out the Hidizs USB-C to 3.5 DAC. This isn't just an adapter, it's a full fledged DAC:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2DTTGT/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=johngaltgroup-20&linkId=624b3dce91178f0d3633db132eecdb36&language=en_US

​

I tried it with Sennheiser IE80 and it was a night and day difference. Note: You'll need to update it's firmware which is a bit nutty but if you follow instructions in the amazon reviews its not hard.

u/Fillbar · 2 pointsr/tabs6

I have one of these and I can confirm it works with my Tab S6 no problem:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07F2DTTGT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

It might be a bit more expensive than you're looking for though.

u/fastfrequency · 2 pointsr/galaxynote10

Cancel that too on order the best cable DAC in the world: HIDIZS Portable Headphone Amplifier USB Type C DAC Headphone Amp for Android/Windows/MacOSX System Smartphone Laptop (Mark II) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FaJZDbVCKCQYB

The sound difference is huge

u/techfreak243 · 2 pointsr/essential

I would suggest this. Extremely great quality to come out of this type of cable. I have a nice pair of v-moda Crossfade LP²s and it's a great matxhup https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OzhSDbA33KWPM

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/CanadianHardwareSwap

Unfortunately I don't have what you're looking for, but I do have a recommendation. If you have any use for a compact usbc amp/dac, I highly suggest the [hidizs sonata](http://www.HIDIZS.com/ Portable Headphone Amplifier Type C USB DAC Headphone Amp for Android Smartphone and Laptop(Mark II) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zNu8CbMYBQ285)

I picked this up a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.

u/Prospero424 · 2 pointsr/headphones

As others have already explained that analog passthrough is not an option, just be aware that the DACs (and associated circuitry) built into most active USB-C-to-headphone adapters are pretty bad thus far.

I've heard better things about the HIDIZS Sonata , but have not personally used it.

u/Herkt · 2 pointsr/oneplus

Can't speak on the 6S since I don't have the phone, but I've found the sound a lot better on my OP7Pro compared to my OP3. I use to have to run Viper4AndroidFX on my OP3 to get it to where I thought sounded good. With OP7Pro I don't have any additional equalizer other than stuff built into PowerAmp.

This is the USB-C -> 3.5mm Adapter I use. Look for one that mentions one of those phones (Huawei P20 Pro/Mate 10 Pro/Mate 20 Pro, Motorola Moto Z/Z Force, OnePlus 6T, Xiaomi Mi 8/Mix 2). All those phones support audio pass-through for the adapter. There is two adapters out there right now. One that does pass-through and one that has a DAC built-in. Normally the ones with the built-in DAC are not great unless you go to the high-end ones like the Hidizs Sonata HD.

Then I have Dolby Atmos set to None and in Poweramp I have DVC and Hi-Res Output on

u/jak341 · 1 pointr/galaxynote10

Apple USB-C to 3.5mm works great. However, it suffers from very low volume. You will have to turn your Note up to 130 on your volume. This was $9.99 at Wal*Mart.

I'm also looking at this: HIDIZS Portable Headphone Amplifier USB Type C DAC Headphone Amp for Android/Windows/MacOSX System Smartphone Laptop (Mark II) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rYd1DbT6RTAK3. Audiophiles like it. Currently $45.00 on Amazon.

u/naruto01234 · 1 pointr/OnePlus6

You need one with DAC (digital analog converter). You can find one on Amazon or even buy the Apple one (Wich has good reviews and low price).

I personally use this one with my OP6 and very happy with it.

You could get this:

https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=373AFKCB8DR2O&keywords=hidizs&qid=1550816383&s=electronics&sprefix=hidiz%2Celectronics%2C346&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1

​

as a Hi-Res option for your mobile phone and it does support microphone in. It's really powerful(for its size) and its less than $30. Bluetooth mics are usually not great as they have to share power from the battery and the position isn't great for voice pick up.

u/XK_ZERO · 1 pointr/galaxynote10

I've become quite the fan of this thing with the D firmware flashed (hitting their website explains how to flash firmware):

u/akeep113 · 1 pointr/Android

something like this: https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT is an easy cheap way to add a Hi-Fi DAC to your phone. just make sure to do the firmware update first.

u/FallenAdvocate · 1 pointr/galaxynote10

I've been using the hidiz one, kind of expensive but sounds great

https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT

u/thedarkdocmm · 1 pointr/HeadphoneAdvice

What phone do you have? I heard good things about this product

It's USB C

u/kittysneeze88 · 1 pointr/HeadphoneAdvice

Hidizs Sonata HD or Razor makes one too. Google makes one as well for the Pixel phone.

The Hidizs has a surprisingly decent DAC for being so small, and drives my 45ohm ER4XRs much better than my iPhone.

Edit: the Hidizs also comes with a unique adapter that is usb-a male to usb-c female. It seems like it may work perfectly for your use-case. Here’s a link:

u/RexCrispy · 1 pointr/headphones

Oh nice! Yeah I also fit the HIDIZS into the tin. Picked it up for $25 at some point.

u/Alabaster13 · 1 pointr/GooglePixel

I am new to the IEM world although I hate tangled cables...I live and respect good sound. I just picked up a pair of KZ ZS3’s and honest sky they sounded like sh$t on the 3a. I almost returned then u til I plugged them into my sons iPhone 7 and then I was pretty amazed. Not sure how much you know but the ZS3’s are the poor man’s entrance to IEM. I was wondering about getting the yinyoo Bluetooth cable because I just absolutely hate cables. Thoughts?

Would the 3a sound better with this in your opinion? Have you personally tried it?
https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT

Edit: my next dilemma is should I keep the ZS3’s or step up to something better? I love boomy bass, but these seem muddy at times. Treble is overpowering as well.

u/cerialphreak · 1 pointr/BudgetAudiophile

If you want something for your phone, assuming it has USB-C the Hidizs Sonata is a great option. Works plug and play with my android phone and my mbp without software or special drivers.

u/mcjasonb · 1 pointr/GooglePixel

The Hidizs Sonata HDII USB-C dongle. I got one when they were on sale for $26.

https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT

u/billbishere · 1 pointr/HeadphoneAdvice

I would probably try to get a little cheap DAC for around $50 and then spend the $100 on headphones. The source matters.

​

This is a great little DAC that can be used on your computer and phone. I have one and love it!

DAC / Headphone AMP-

https://www.amazon.com/HIDIZS-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Smartphone/dp/B07F2DTTGT/ref=sr_1_28_sspa?keywords=USB+DAC&qid=1564399240&s=gateway&sr=8-28-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSE1OSlVVMDFINk5WJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTE1ODI0MkdJVE5BUUtNRzBEMyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjI3MjgwT1Y1VzFXUzNaNE5GJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

​

Headphones -

The Status CB-1 for like $70

Audio Technica - MTH-40x - $99

Sony MDR-7506 - $89

​

The money you spend on the DAC / AMP is going to give you FAR FAR better performance than a spending a extra $50 on headphones and using them on a shitty, under-powered source. A better source lesser headphone will sound better than a great headphone on a shit source. However the under $100 headphones I posted are great quality and punch above their price. However if you just plug them into your phone or computer jack that probably won't sound all that great, nothing will. You need a DAC / Headphone amp for quality sound.

​

Enjoy your purchase whatever you decide.
