Hi I have it and was surprised because with Tidal máster and USB player pro with bit perfect a file supposed to have 352 khz indeed had 88 khz with this dac. So I ask myself : does this dac unfold tidal máster files to their full potential?
@@AudiophileHeaven @Porta.Fi how about iem starfield, if i have dac neutral to warm and neutral to bright, which is one the best for moondrop starfield ? Tks for your feedback🙏
Great review! Can you configure the sample rate while streaming tidal through iPhone? Usually most of the content in tidal is 16bits 44k, so can we upsample everything to dsd128 or 32bits 384khz? Does this mini dac comes along with the ios or android app where we can configure the sample rate and play tidal through Beam2 app? Or there is no way to find out the sample rate? Thanks..
This one is brighter than S1, S1 had more driving power and more depth, a wider soundstage with more detail. It is an upgrade generally, and has eQ too. S1 is pricier too.
Hm, both have a bit of hiss with sensitive IEMs to be honest, but this one is a bit brighter in signature, while the Sonata is a bit warmer / smoother. I would go with what I want to hear, the beam2 has a bit more detail, but if you pair it with something that is already bright, it may become fatiguing / harsh, while if you pair sonata with something that is a bit too warm / smooth, the final sound may be a bit too thick / lack detail / emotion.
Hi! Is beam 2 better against hilidac atom pro? Can you explain what is the different between them please? May be you can advice to me want to buy? Im also want buy ikko zerda and e1da and btr5. Last two for sure is totally different sound colour. Im already have ibasso dc03 and xduoo dc05 basic. What you think? Do you think i need take them all or some of them totally better others?
All of them are unique. Beam2 is more neutral, more detail and has more power than the atom pro. Ikko zerda is warmer and even stronger. Considering the amount you're spending on all of them, you could afford a really nice DAP like DX160 though ...
Hey dude I'd like to change my setup, actually I have the HD 599 and hip dac, but it's very warm and I want to analyze the electro, hip hop and rock music. ¿Wich headphones and dac/amp portable could you recommend me? I thought the AKG K702 or the DT 770 pro with the dragonfly red, but I don't know if that setup would be ok...
@@AudiophileHeaven Nice video, I have that iems too. What iems do you recommended? Better than those (Shure SE215). Which DAC would you recommend me? Beam 2, lotoo paw s1 or another.
Will it be a upgrade over the Hidizs S9 pro? I have the ATH MSR7 headphones
Hii, not a big upgrade, I would rather get Paw S1 for the EQ function :)
will it be a upgrage over the ibasso dc01?
Yes, should be more clear and more dynamic

Really good question. I don't think it unfolds at maximum, but I do think it is better than no MQA support at all
What about beam 2 with Beyerdinamic dt 770 pro 80 ohm?
Should work perfeclty well!
Can this drive tin hifi p1?
Hi, yess, it should have enough pwer for it
@@AudiophileHeaven thank u
These or the fiio btr5(usb dac mode)? Considering the btr5 does not have mqa, which one would you pick?
Hm, hard one. I would proibably still go BTR5 because it is more widely available, but beam2 is ver potent, would not avoid it
If u compare to hiby pc3 which one is better ?
I don't think I know that one, need to check it out (?)

Hii
I think iPhone is limited to just 16/44.1 , not sure how to overcome it in iOS
Do you know the difference between this and the 2se? Many thanks
Hiii, i actually haven't heard that one yet, but will let you know as soon as I do!
How does this compare with lotoo Paw S1?
This one is brighter than S1, S1 had more driving power and more depth, a wider soundstage with more detail. It is an upgrade generally, and has eQ too. S1 is pricier too.
Who is better Zorloo ztella or Hilidac beam 2?
The Beam should have a bit more detail and clarity :)
@@AudiophileHeaven oh thanks :)
which one is better in terms of sound quality only for sensitive iem?
this or sonata hd pro?
Hm, both have a bit of hiss with sensitive IEMs to be honest, but this one is a bit brighter in signature, while the Sonata is a bit warmer / smoother. I would go with what I want to hear, the beam2 has a bit more detail, but if you pair it with something that is already bright, it may become fatiguing / harsh, while if you pair sonata with something that is a bit too warm / smooth, the final sound may be a bit too thick / lack detail / emotion.
@@AudiophileHeaven got my answer also 😃👍❤
Wish one do you prefer : this one or lotto paw s1?
Lotoo Paw S1 has more driving power, EQ embedded and generally would be easier to recommend to most people

nice vids! u got my sub for sure
Thank you very much, friend!! I hope you'll have lots of fun here!
Gr8 work! Have you reviewed the Shanling UA1?
Hii, not yet, but will be working on it!

Hiii
If you can go Beyer 1990 and something like the BTR5 would probably work nicely
@@AudiophileHeaven Thank you bro 😎
Hi! Nice review thanks! What do you think about beam2 paired with shure se215?
They should make a really good pair!
@@AudiophileHeaven should I change the cable for a balanced one? Will I notice some enhancement?
@@Jkiedis yes, you would! But if you have to invest a lot for it, you'd be better off getting better IEMs from the start...
@@AudiophileHeaven thanks!!
@@AudiophileHeaven Nice video, I have that iems too. What iems do you recommended? Better than those (Shure SE215).
Which DAC would you recommend me? Beam 2, lotoo paw s1 or another.
Beam2s is out, will you be reviewing that? Wonder how it compares to Lotoo Paw S1
Yes, I will be reviewing it too;
Nice. I just ordered a FiiO K5 Pro recently!
Oooh, you got a good one, I hope it will bring countless hours of fun for a long time to come!
Audiophile Heaven Thanks man, bought a pair of DT990 pros to go with it!
@@nixlad that's awesome, should be a great combo!!
You saying blue made me laugh hard 🤣
I'm really happy for it, that was the point of my viddy
