    Do they still have that bright neutral sound? Would it be a good match with a warm iem, like the Explorer.

    Does the cassette animation cause significant battery drain?

      Yes it is, but not too significant tho'
      But it'll get ur dac hotter fast.

    Hello Ian.
    I just bought this DAC. I tested it and it's weird that sound is coming out of my phone and not through the Ka15. But DAC controls are working. Any chance you know what the issue is?

      There must be some fault in type c to c cable. Try a different cable

      @@shakilmohammad9731 thank you for your reply! I've tested with other cables, it didn't fix it. Weirdly, the DAC works with my desktop. So I'm guessing it's my phone. I own a 4 yr old samsung A12. It's one of Samsungs base model units back then. But I will also try a new cable before I buy a phone that is compatible.

      @@aaronmatthewlim5708 android generally is a bit iffy when it comes to usb audio. Something related to absolute volume control if I recall. A workaround is a player that takes over the usb audio stack. There was one I can't remember but it was paid. That should fix it

      so the official specs from fiio are,
      Desktop mode off,
      50mW SE
      170mW BAL
      Desktop mode on,
      180mW SE

      @@KaibillKaan thank you so much. If I bought this I would be running it solely on desktop mode. That is really low power for SE and only moderate for the BAL compared to some of my other dongles.
