1). 3.5 mm headphone input ?
2). When using lightning connector, is the Atom securely attached to the iPhone 📱?
Bought one with lightning connection, securely attached. 3.5 mm connection for headphones.
Great review and quite timely. Thanks for helping with my decision.
I bought a ddHifi TC44B and using it with the TC28i adapter on my iPhone. Ditched my Fiio M9 for it. Sounds good, amazing build quality and it has 2.5mm and 4.4mm, so I can use all of my cables. Small budget dongle to just enjoy your music. Im happy with it. I was to satisfied for years with stats and thought expensive gear will sound better. That’s not true.
Then it depends on whether your headphones have a light or warm sound character or something in between. just like when you buy speakers for your stereo if your receiver has a warm character then you may not also want to buy speakers with a warm character. it can simply in the worst case become far too soft as cotton
I use the ddhifi TC35 Pro which is literally identical to the Atom 2 (spec , design and hardware-wise).
Completely agree with your points based on my experience.
I am personally quite pleased that MQA is slowly, but surely being devalued/ more affordable.
I actually found this new generation of DACs (Atome 2 and TC35 Pro) using the new Sabre chip sound much cleaner than my more expensive desktop amps & dacs (if you ignore power output). Promising times to be sure!
ty for this! now im looking to compare these two... are they likely to be having the same sound sig?
@@ivegyattocommentGo for the Atom or alternatively the hiby FC3. I have the TC35 and whilst it sounds great, the build quality (electronics, not the shell) is awful.
@@tomdgardner ty for the reply! i want portable dacs like the atom. dont wanna deal with more dangly dangaloos honestly.
If someone knows - how does it compare to original Hilidac Audirect Atom version 1, the round one with a cord? So it can drive 150ohm like HD58x easily?
What are the switcher and aux cables you are using?
Excellent review. Just the one I was looking for the Atom 2. It was Atom 2 or ddHIFI T35 Pro. Atom 2 is cheaper but has the same chip.
Which one did you end up going with?
Could you help me pls? the light of my atom2 is not changed, it just worked with red light in all of the files. including tidal hifi plus :(
I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions about this. I had a question about the Atom when I was testing it, and emailed the company from their website. They responded to me within 24 hours. Have you tried contacting them?
@@NoThemeReviews Yes, I did but I dont receive any replies from them? It makes me so extremely depressed
@@LocNguyen-oz9fh Are you sure Tidal is actually playing tracks above 44.1/48khz or MQA?
I used tidal hifi plus and adjust master for every songs I listened.
Through recommended videos, I found your channel and am thoroughly impressed. I own an Oppo HA2-SE but I always watch reviews of other DAC/AMP's currently available because, reasons. Thank you for your insight.
any idea on how is the atom 2 compared to the iBasso DC03?
From pictures, it looks like the dac is smushed next to the phone. Will this even work if you have a phone case?
Depends on your phone case.
@@NoThemeReviews it's an average silicon phone case 🤷♂️
Hi. I am looking for a small reasonably priced DAC for my iPad, I’d seen a really good review on the....
Hidizs S9 Pro ( I think that’s correct 🤷♂️ ) and it seemed like a good bet. But today I was looking for other reviews and came across your review.
Do you have any experience with the Hidizs to compare with the DACs in this video ??
Cheers. Paul 😁👍
I've only used the S2; it's a fine product but pretty limited in features. I've not used the S9 Pro, but it seems like an interesting option. You may also want to consider the Lotoo Paw S1.
@@NoThemeReviews Thanks for taking the time to reply😁👍 And while I’m writing, what does ‘balanced’ mean? I heard you say something about having a balanced connection but I’m unsure about what e benefit is?? 🤷♂️
@@paulf.5261 Balanced connections typically have greater power output than through 3.5mm or 1/4". Decades ago, single-ended connections used to be very noisy and susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Balanced connection was implemented to mitigate the noise by separating the left and right channels, and one of the wires is of opposite polarity. Anyway, long and short is this: modern gear rarely ever presents noise from single-ended connection. There's a lot of nonsensical argument in forums and YT about how balanced connection "sounds better"--that's total BS. There is no difference whatsoever in the sound of your recording just because you use balanced connection. The only difference is power output.
Hi, it is possible to connect the Atom 2 to an earphone amplifier in order to enjoy all its features? Is there any impedance incompatibility? Thanks
Which earphone amplifier?
@@NoThemeReviews Any, lets say a tube one, Is this Iittle device keep on working, bringing all its quality, or it's going to strop working cause of the high impedance of the amp cable? thanks
@@carlosblack325 I'm not quite sure how you intend to connect everything. If you plug the Atom into your PC or phone, then plug an aux cable from it to another amplifier, you'll end up very likely introducing noise into the signal. Stacking amps is never a good idea for this very reason. Is there a particular reason why you want to add another amp to the chain? The Atom has plenty of power for IEMs and a lot of headphones.
Atom vs LG V30 quaddac???
The criterion for hi-res according to the Japanese website is at least 24 bit and 96 khz of course DSD is also approved
Hi. I just received the Atom 2, I can't decide if I like it or not.. Were you able to detect any treble roll-off, or loss of treble Sparkle?
Nope. Mine was neutral
maximum impedance working ?
what are some good headphones to pair with this?
This is neutral. Pair whatever you like
Does this support in line mic?
No it doesn’t
Can it play native dsd?
Yes
@@NoThemeReviews mine can't. I don't know why. I use Hiby Music and UAPP. In Hiby Music, it just play DoP. When in UAPP, i get notofication my usb set up failed and failed to find interface for native dsd play
Could you please do a review of the Khadas Tone 2 Pro? It's an amazing feature-loaded device for ~ $200
Only if someone lets me borrow one.
How does this compare to a apple dongle ?
This walks all over that dongle.
@@epicmike3915 in what ways ?
@@chefsteve8381 For starters the form factor. A dongle is quite the stupid design IMO. The Dac chip is better and has better amplification. If that matters to you. If you're using IEM don't bother.
@@epicmike3915 Yes i only use it for IEM's and it sounds good to me, but for $9 not much better price to performance than this, for headphones i use Hidizs S9 PRO.
@@chefsteve8381 Then you're good then. Nothing here is an upgrade unless you need that MQA crap or form factor.
Just one cautionary note. I ordered this product for my iPhone 12, and it failed to work. When you look for help, everything is in Chinese, including their website... including their directions. So, take care.
Email them directly from their website
@@NoThemeReviews Of course... not every device arrives in working order over the course of a hobby. No worries.
🃏
If only android supported hi res audio files by default. Using USB Player Pro app sucks. Making these devices useless to me. I don't stream music. No theme how busy are you with reviews? I wanted to sent The Verum 1 mark 2 for review. I do like it. I wanted your opinion and comparisons to the other planars you have. Maybe there's something better for me?
Use hiby music player its free and easy to use. And as for the Verum one it's off my list due to the owners racist practices, but to each their own !
@@chefsteve8381 I used Hiby but lags with album art when scrolling and sometimes it freezes on the lock screen. Then it won't let me skip track. Does the song use the highest bit by default? Or do I have to do something? I don't care for the racist controversy. I don't boycott Tommy Hilfiger either and he came out hating my race lol.
@Epic Mike I set my own schedule for reviews. Im happy to review the Verum. When people loan me their gear I try to prioritize those videos so I can return the stuff ASAP.
@@NoThemeReviews I don't see your email anymore. I sent the HD 58X last time but I guess I deleted your email.

Hey not everyone has a USB-C port on their phone. My iPhone 6s has a lightening port. Consider other users with older hardware. So it makes sense to have both ports available, they did their research. Also not everyone responding in the comments is a troll.
