I feel Apple users should stick to native apple DAC anyway as Apple created their product for their own devices be iphone or iPad or Macbooks, Also these are quite a bit cheaper than the ones sold by HeadphoneZone and all I wish the cable was braided just like their typeC cables these days... A friend of mine who is a musician said the same thing what you said.
this was my first time watching a technical video on DACs as im new to this audio community and im convinced that it doesnt matter which source you are using to power your IEM as it uses far less power than a typical headphone.thanks for clearing the myths.I think fiio KA11 is a good DAC
It’s good that an Indian RUclipsr taking technicalities clearing myths about audio products helping in taking informed buying decisions for Audiophile community, most welcome brother worth subscribing to your channel keep the good work going. By the way I use Apple dongle plain and simple
Thank u so much .. this months during festivals sales i am trying to get a new IEM with dac. I am gonna buy Audiocular DO7. At first i thought of buying DD hifi because of build quality. Genuinely thank you for introducing Audiocular dac since they are cheap i thought they are not good but now i am pretty sure that is what i was searching for.
My personal favourite DAC is Fiio KA11. Been using the 7hz zero two ever since it came out, but could never use it on my newer phone or my laptop due to the 3.5mm jack.
Audiocular D07 and Fiio KA 11 is the dac I was looking to get... Btw you once again explained very great man. I got to know that dac will not change sounding experience. 💙
Good sound advice(pun intended😃) very crisp and knowledgeable, street smart opinions on Dac dongles. You touched upon a lot of points that many people have doubts about without being too technical. Awesome review. Keep up the great work.
You earned my sub only because you answered my question ive had for so long .. which was the hfz ddhifi vs d07 ... And soo many youtubers just ignored the question by many like me .... I guess due to sponsorship by hfz ... The only thing i can see is the headphone zone one looks like its stronger ... Thanks bud

Wonderful video, it removed a lot of confusions I had and I gained substantial clarity about DACs. We need more no BS, straightforward content creators like you in every category :) My favourite DAC is FiiO KA11
Thanks!, I'd like to go with a dac with an inbuilt amp, why because with additional power sucked from my smartphone, it increases the audibility of sound at the lower volume (below 30%) and provides the confidence to the driver to deliver their optimum potential with every volume raise.

Wow brother. You just saved me some money. Thanks for the video. I kind of had FOMO after watching many channels promoting HPZ dac. The D07 would do the same job at half the prize and so it would be the right one for me now.

I was suprised to hear and later confirmed that the ddhifi and audiocular D07 both has the same chip and not only the same build.

@@pralaygaming9485 Dude, FiiO KA11 isn't the same as JA11. What on Earth have you smoked? Do not advise people unless you know what it is. FiiO JA11 is the cheapest DAC from FiiO while KA11 is the best DAC+Amp under $50. KA11 absolutely smokes D07 for two reasons- 1.) KA11 supports DSD/256; 2.) Power:Volume Ratio per channel is above 200mW which is unheard of in this segment. Those filters do not nothing in reality.
fiio ja11 is the way to go for me, perfectly enough outout of 30mW and frequency response range of 20Hz~50kHz which perfectly matches my JBL Quantum 810's needs. I really want it!!! Subscribed to your channel too.
Great video !!! Busting every misconceptions built around DACs . DACs are only for supplying sufficient power & not to improve sound profile of an IEM . Great summary !!!!
Finally, someone has tackled the most confusing issue for beginners like me! I've been searching for months for clarification on budget DACs and amps.

This would definitely elevate my listening experience to the next level. Thank you for the chance to win such an incredible product! 🎧🔊 Fingers crossed! 🙌

Just a few days ago I got to know about IEM , then I realised I don't have 3.5mm , then asking some suggestions someone suggested me that DAC is better than some adapter , but the are pretty expensive so in my opinion cheapest is better that is gonna work !! And now let's wait for 1st October!! 😅
5:35 That's true. Both have the exact same specs. I remember commenting on Pauls Pov. He said it's the built quality and how the dacs are implemented that makes the difference 😂 It's good to find someone else also noticed that.

By the way, bro ended the video like, 'don’t waste your money chasing expensive stuff!' If you’re an Apple user, just grab the Apple Dongle or start with a basic one - total gem, bro! 💎
As per your suggestion it seems to be good to go with audiocular dac D07, thank you.
Great Video Bro❤❤❤Finally Confusion got cleared, Audiocular D07 is my favorite.
I have the ddhifi dac but my favourite is probably the Fiio KA13 i like how it has a detachable cable
Wow, the Fiio KA11 DAC looks like an absolute game-changer! As someone who's passionate about high-quality audio and uses both IEMs and headphones regularly, the extra power output would be a huge plus for me. This would definitely elevate my listening experience to the next level. Thank you for the chance to win such an incredible product! 🎧🔊 Fingers crossed! 🙌
Oh i get all my doubts cleared about dac . loved your explanation about dacs.
Fioo ka11 is good which i am eying for.😊
Thanks you made it clear if it was worth to invest more in budget IEMs. It really saved my money.
Thank you so much for this review; it really saved me money, which I can now use to buy higher-quality IEMs.
My fav is Audiocular D07.. coz it does it job done in budget.
I thought of getting the IFI Audio go or the D07 for my iphone 11 with lightning adapter, but lastly went with apple lightning dac, which proved super good for my Kiwi ears cadenza
Wonderful analysis and informative. You are a saver for a lot of Audiophiles who spend s..load of money on DACs
Well I'm gonna start my audiophile journey and thinking of getting tangzu wanner. I am an Android user and my device does not have a 3.5mm audio jack.That's why I am looking for a decent DAC and thanks to you now I know which one to get. BTW my favourite is J Celly J M30.
i have bought audiocular D07 and its absolutely goat and thanks for this great informative video .
my favorite dongle is the legendary Meizu Hifi DAC with its 2V RMS output on a super small form factor... Best 15 USD spent in my life!
I recently started using IEMs and looking for a DAC...then I spotted this video...absolutely superb video... instantly SUBSCRIBED the channel 🤝
Welcome aboard!
i used fiio ka 13 and also i have apple lightning to 3.5 and apple type c to 3.5 all the dacs have same sound and same power delivery to my iems and you re right go with the apple and fiio dac its perfact for all iems and budget friendly too, tysm for the best dac review TWX
🙌🏼
Considering price and other factors my fav choice would the Audiocular D07
Thanks for clearing the myth. I am new to this recently i bought Blon Bl03. And i was planning to buy the Dac too as my phone doesn't have 3.5mm jack. Headphone zone dac. Let's see
Just a few days ago I got to know about IEM , then I realised I don't have 3.5mm , then asking some suggestions someone suggested me that DAC is better than some adapter , but the are pretty expensive so in my opinion cheapest is better that is gonna work !! And now let's wait for 1st October!! 😅
5:35 That's true. Both have the exact same specs. I remember commenting on Pauls Pov. He said it's the built quality and how the dacs are implemented that makes the difference 😂
It's good to find someone else also noticed that.
Nice review. subscribed 😊 Will be getting Fiio JA11. ❤
7hz 71 is my go to choice. Why not? budget friendly, akm chip g sleek look.❤
FiiO KA11 will be my go to DAC to Power my IEM Collection, hoping to get it from you !
thanks for the usefull dac guide i was very confused with it as i am coming from tws side and everything is new to me hopefully i wont be needing the dac for the iem
ThankYou
