    In the Tidal settings that you brought up simply tick the 'Force volume' box to keep tidal at 100 and control your sound via the system. Further I think you would also want the 3rd option in settings which is Passthrough MQA, as you want your DAC to decode the file, not software.

    Just got Go Link, sounds great with my Sennheiser HD 800, Questyle M12 lacked bass in comparison to my old Denon AVR-1912 receiver, while Go link sounds identical to Denon output to me. I consider Denon headphone output as a reference for all other dacs, since it sounds so great to me and I see no way or need for any greater sound than that for my HD 800 headphones. So GO link is a Go for me!

      Thanks. It depends on what files you have. Even MP3 can benefit from a good DAC for as long as they are not too low of a Bitrate. I would recommend sticking to 256Kbps at least. The problem is, when you have something lower than 128 Kbps then no DAC can improve that

      Different tuning. Dawn is focused on modern Hi-Fi sound which is crisp and lacking analogue timbre to it. Pretty much the same with SHIO, which is a bit more organic neutral compared to DAWN. But I would say that the super smooth and analogue nature of GO Link will suit DT990 Pro well

    Sir, I am an keen audio enthusiast and love listening music. But, this lil dongle DAC(Ifi Go Link) didn't make any difference to my music quality listening from my phone(Asus Rog 5s + Apple Music + Truthear Hola). The inbuilt DAC in the phone I think it is of the same grade / class if not better. I was expecting greatly from it after hearing praises from prominent reviewers about it. What could be the issue here?

    • @AndyAudioVault
      @AndyAudioVault  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      First or all, no need for sir, just Andy will do. The issue I see here is Hola being natively less capable with resolution and imaging, it is also not so good with transparency, you may keep upgrading dongles but you will not hear much difference at all even if you pair Hola with L&P W4. On top of that, GO Link is tuned more on being musical rather than analytical, so that combo of Hola + GO Link definitely will not give you the resolution you need. Try a well burned-in Tanchjim ZERO with GO Link and you will understand what I mean

      Does this happen with all of your headphones? if you have another 3.5mm terminated earphones or headphones, try them and see if the issue still persists.
