Finally someone who explains it easy and quick. After watching 30 videos only another girl and you are the ones who better explain. Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted that you found the explanation helpful. If you have any more questions or if there's anything specific you'd like to know, feel free to ask. Keep the music playing! 🎧✨
@@headphone_zone can you please kindly assure me it's safe to purchase a type c 7hz for Motorola edge 30 fusion it doesn't have a jack. Because it says snapdragon sound having dac support which my phone does, or will I get better quality if I buy a dac adaptor with 3.5mm Jack
@@nixenrider3219No. There are just a few type-C options and while they do offer convenience, reality is a lot of them or most of them suck even compared to their 3.5 equivalent.
Not sure if brands intentionally do that.
If you're from the US, you may be already aware that Asus ROG and Zenfone Series, and Sony flagships still offer a 3.5 mm jack, so if you're really into music, better switch your phone.
Or may be look for a used/refurbished LG V60 which was their last phone to have that legendary Hifi Quad DAC.
Found at the first! Thank you!
Agreed, I also finally understand what a DAC is 🙏
These educating videos are very good. pls continue
Nice and easy. Very clear explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
You jus earned a new subscriber.. great job with ur videos. Extremely informative 👍
Hey there, Glad to hear you like our content, stay tuned for more!
Please Explain the terms Impedance Frequency Output power, I mean the terms mentioned in the IEM or Dac Box
I use Audicular CX Pro with Apple Music as my source and I am super happy with the quality I get.😊😊
I'm using abrigail pro. Both of those have BL the same chip
@@Maddox24425 ok.
I have purchased an entry level DAC AMP from headphonezone which is ifi zen air dac to use with my Sennheiser HD599.
It changes colour depending on the audio source. Now I haven't been able to test it out because of lack of sample audio sources of different kind like DSD, Flaac with various bit rates. Can you suggest any site to test out this DAC?
It's currently not being used much as I am currently listening to music using apple music and that headphone through my phone which supports lossless audio.
Please suggest a streaming service to gainfully utilize the DAC.
When Headphone zone video notifications pops up my heart pops up too❤️
Thank you for the explanation, that was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. merci beaucoup
Thanks bro..guess I need one 👍
Going to buy a dac very soon😁
Do routine wired ear phone with portable DAC help to hear music in better way ? I am possibly leaving convenience of TWS.
Going to use iFi Go link with Apple Earpods; as I have old earpods sitting with me and sounding fine on my Laptop with 3.5 mm audio jack.
Any suggestion / comment is welcome.
Going to use with iPhone SE 3rd generation and S21 ultra.
This video is good, it will be really really nice, if you showed us the data, or waveforms generated by inbuilt dac and an external dac.
Great suggestion, we've made a note of the same!
Good video, thanks!

Awesome sir..very nicely explained ❤

@@headphone_zone sir i have to recommend you something that your website is very lacking...sir please try to resolve this issue 😪
I am using an Edifier s2000 mkIII desktop speaker set. I am using currently streaming music, (Spotify mostly and sometimes Apple Music) via Bluetooth to hear on these speakers. Which DAC, if any, or any other amp or some other set up, I could use to improve the hearing experience on these speakers?
I'm with you, I have a 90s Pioneer Power amp with crazy speakers. But I had to buy a Bluetooth receptor to actually use my phone with this system. I have an old phone that has a headphone jack entrance but it seems it's fucked.
So I'm stucked like you.
Who was the apple idiot that took my jack away
Getting a very high quality one today
Hi Raghav ji, so happy to discover a channel devoted to audiophile perspective headphones.
A very short question.
I have nothing phone 2 which doesn't have a dedicated headphone jack.
It has a USB C 2.0 port.
Will the Apple USB C to 3.5mm jack dongle which has an inhuilt good quality DAC & costs just ₹900 work well with the NP2?
Or will the Oneplus passive dongle costing ₹370 work better with NP2?
I cannot afford more expensive DACs.
Once this is sorted out I'll probably buy the acclaimed Moondrop chu 2 IEM's.
I request a precise response, plz.
Regards
The One plus Dongle is just a passthrough so we would suggest getting either something like the Apple Dongle or the KZ Am01 Dongle DAC
Do i need a DAC playing my old 2.1 speaker? Via RCA,,,using both laptop and mobile!
Excellent explanation and presentation .. you earned the sub. Do you recommend a good budget dac/amp for gaming IEM? THANKS
We recommend using a dedicated DAC/AMP to increase the overall experience.
Hi Raghav,
Which are the better phones to use with external portable DACs ? And in general which phones are better for music(I mean they should be able to output Hi-Res)
Hey there, do you have a budget in mind? that would help us recommend you a suitable headphone.
Hey @@headphone_zone
I am thinking around 35K. Also what if budget is not a constraint. I am using Iphone 12 right now but my UA2 drains it too fast to be of any real practical use. So I am looking for android options.
Believe me this is most technical way to tell someone about DAC
And thats a good thing or a bad thing?
@@headphone_zone bad
Got my first iem and after watching your video i guess i gonna need one of this DAC..any recommendations bro? Btw I'm using moondrop Aria..
is iem > In ear monitors? Sorry im beginner
Smartphone's headphone jack has a bitcrush-like noise/distortion because I daily drive sensitive IEMs not just for music and the distortion is especially noticeable in quiet environments. So I got a tiny DAC as a significantly cleaner audio source.
Welcome to the club. You're never going back.
did u set your audio specifically as something that can show me the quality of my laptop and headphones?. because your video sounds robotic. Would the audio be better if i use DAC and nicer headphone?
Is smartphone type matter? Is there any smartphone that cant support hires audio?
Thanks ❤ Keep Posting
Thank you for the love.
Nice Omega
Hey there so im using a sony dvd player as a cd transport hooked up too some Edifier R98 bookshelf speakers and it sounds fantastic.However i was looking at getting a SMSL exteranal dac and hook it up threw the digital coaxial port from the dvd player.What difference will i hear in audio compared to what im hearing now?
It really depends on how good the DAC on your DVD Player is. The chances it the SMSL dedicated DAC should sound a lot nicer.
Please do a review video of JBL Tour One M2. I am using it for last 2 weeks. Based on my likings I am totally satisfied with the product. Call Quality, Sound Quality, Battery Backup, ANC and everything is pretty gd. Overall gives me a premium feel in every aspect. A good pair of closed back headphone under 25k (better than Sony XM4 I would say).
I need to know what's your opinio on that.
Great video...
I have a question and I can not find anybody to help me find a solution for this, hopefully you can...
As you mentioned, once the album is been recorded and is been distributed in digital format such cd, mp3, etc. the album has a specific volume which has never been set as standard, this mean that 1 album will have a different set volume to another and the problem I have is that I have to constantly adjusting the volume everything time I play my music in random...
Would using a DAC rectify this issue?, as the output will be analogue will the set volume for all tracks be the same?.
Enable normalise volume option in the app that you're using.
Dear Raghav, your expert opinion required.
Can ifi go link well with BEO FORM 2 headphones playing flac?
Or I go for Whizzer da1?
Please guide!
We certainly like the IFI Go link. Its a superb DAC, and sounds great with almost all headphones. We've not heard the Beo Form 2 specifically, but its a safe bet that it'll make it sound good!
Great video! I have question I own an iphone 13. Which dac would be suitable for me, im just looking for a simple dac to use with iems.
Thanks a ton! 🌟 For your iPhone 13 audio adventures, a simple yet powerful choice would be the iFi Audio - GO Link. It's like the pocket-sized maestro for your music - compact and mighty! 🎶📱 Plug it in and elevate your audio experience. If you have more questions or need further recommendations, feel free to ask. Happy listening with your iPhone 13! 🚀🔊
A quick question: on my Samsung S10E phone I can only get the sound via 3.5mm jack, not through USB-C. Would it still make sense to have a DAC or 3.5mm jack on Android to DAC to 3.5mm on headphones will not produce the result?
The inbuilt DAC in devices is usually only present with the 3.5mm jack and not the type c port when a device has both. So in order to listen to music from the type c port on a phone that has a 3.5mm jack, you almost certainly need to use an external DAC. The reason you're not getting the audio output from it is because you must be using a regular type c to 3.5mm converter without a DAC functionality.
Hi Raghav, please suggest me the latest or best dac for iphone 15 pro
If a mic pass through is not your priority, you should check out the Headphone Zone X DDHIFI Hi-Res DAC.
But Would it smooth out harshness or treble in my DT 770 pro? I don't like the noise coming out of 770 80ohms if i plug it in latest Macbook pro with lossless music via apple music.
No it won't a dac can only amplify what is available in the music
But if you're headphones has a bad treble it's still gonna sound the same
sir dac and tube amp are same?
Thank you for this information. Could you please share link where I can buy this connector.

Hello sir been on your channel for a month and absolutely loved the content and efforts you guys are doing.
But can you guide me that I recently bought sony xm4 and using samsung s20 ,have flac music files downloaded, apple music subs .
My doubt is that i am streaming wireless as LDAC on 990kbps with hires lossless Apple music and flac files and as i researched xm4 comes with inbuilt dac but My S20 doesn't.
Please guide me will dac improve any sound quality or any normal type c to 3.5 mm dongle is enough??
And if yes which one to buy among ifi audio go link or ddhifi hires dac???
Ifi go is better.
I'm new..just wanna know which DAC is best for my Moondrop Aria?
Thanks
Hey there, you can go for the iFi Audio - GO Link.
Does the mic on wired iem still work when plugged into a DAC?
I am considering getting a DAC for my laptop but I'm worried that the inbuilt mic wouldn't work.
I just don't want to deal with external mic.
You have to check with the DAC. There are DACs that does support inbuilt mic.
Some dongle DACs come with a specific Mic passthrough feature. But most dongle DAC's wont. Youd have to use the inbuilt Mic on your laptop. On the other hand, you can consider getting a Bluetooth DAC. Almost all of them come with a inbuilt Mic.
Sir please make review on final E3000 vs KZ zs10 pro ...which one should i choose ..i am a music lover and want to balance smoother sound with balance of crisp instruments .
Hey there, instead we'd recommend you go for the SIMGOT - EW200.
Bro my earphone rigt side stopped working toray,,
How to claim for warranty 😢
Well I have a question here, ive had the qkz x hbb khan for a while and when i switched from my phone to ve avani, the sound quality did change to a certain extent and it was an improvement. But then I switched to Simgot ea500 and jcally jm6pro, the quality change was very marginal, not even perceivable in some songs. I am using apple music lossless as my source. am I missing something?
Hey there, a lot of times this happens. We cannot really say anything in particular about the IEM and DAC mentioned as we have not got the chance to try them.
Virtual sessions for headphone connect 😀
I have two possible DAP sources (my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Android phone/iPod Classic ), I also own a Topping NXS1 amplifier (which was given to me, and I have no idea how to use it), and have recently purchased a 7hz Timeless (which has not arrived yet in the mail).
What kind of setup would you recommend for me having said these above?
Which do you think will provide me the best sound output?
The Topping NXS1 you have is a portable Amplifier (AMP) mainly meant to be paired with your source device for better volume output. You can simply connect the same to your phone or Ipod classic via the Aux to Aux cable in the box and plug your 7hz Timeless to the headphone output on the NXS1
sir i have ifi go link dac purchase from your site and it is use in s24 ultra with apple music can you consider which headphone is best for them can i go for sony xm5 ?
The Sony XM5 is a wireless headphone. It wont really make sense to use it with a DAC. Wireless Headphones connect to your phone via Bluetooth which is a digital connection, and the DAC converts the digital to analog signal in the headphone itself. So an external DAC is quite pointless.
We'd recommend going with a Wired Headphone. There are so many consider. In the same segment as a Sony XM5, the Meze 99 Classics is our top recommendation. It sounds superb along with the IFI Go Link. So that should be your best bet.
At last, today I bought iBasso DC03 Pro for my pathetic Nothing Phone (1) audio.. Hope it is worth it..
Hi Raghav, I have a question regarding the DAC, recently i purchased KZ ZS10 Pro 2 from @Headphonezone, now I'm using this for Iphone 11 with Apple lightning to 3.5 mm connector. So, do I have to buy a separate DAC for my Iphone for better quality? If Yes, then which one I have to buy? Thanks in advance
Using a dedicated DAC such as the iFi Audio - Go Link will definitely improve the music experience.
Thank you for your service. I'm going to buy one. 👍🇳🇿
Hope you enjoy it!
Please clarify this doubt: Some Sony or Samsung mobiles are support 24 bit 192khz audio in default. This mobiles are also need a separate DAC for better performance??
Yes external dac will always have a better sound circuit compared to any inbuilt dac available on smart devices, you will definitely see a performance boost
Could you suggest a bidget Type C DAC to use with my Oneplus Phone and Apple Music as input
Hey there, you can go for the Shanling UA1s
Is there any dac supported type c headphones or iem
We don't have any DAC which has a Type C port currently.
How good is the DAC on the focal Bathys ? Sounds good to me but is it really good?
Focal Bathys DAC has generally received positive feedback. Ultimately, what matters most is your personal experience and satisfaction with the sound.
Would a Fiio K13 dongle out of iPhone benefit sound with efficient 30 ohm/100dB Phillips X2HR headphones?
Hey there, Yes! It would work.

I have 3.5mm port in my samsung galaxy m32. So does my mobile support dac in charging port ?
It does
Hi bro..I have ordered a mobile that supports Hi Res Audio 24 bit/190kHz Do I need to get a DAC Convert to use this H Res Audio or the phone has a built in. DAC Conver? I am new to this bro can you help me!
Hey there! Congrats on the new phone. Ideally, using an external DAC can enhance your listening experience, but it's not a must-have right away. You can start by listening to the phone's output, and if you feel like it's not hitting the right notes for you, then you can consider getting a dedicated DAC. Keep the music playing!
Hello, I have a question. Are there any DACs for an android phone with 3.5mm jack? I only manage to find USB-C to 3.5mm ones.
Most DACs available nowadays come with a USB-C connection, which allows you to connect them to your Android phone.
Sir please review Audiocular TP 30 pro, it's an excellent dac & amp for it's price, I'm confused between this & Fiio ka3 or Shanling ua2 plus. Please help me out. Thanks 😊
Hey there, we have not got our hands on the Audiocular TP 30 Pro but between the FiiO KA3 and Shanling UA2 Plus, the choice will depend on your preference. The KA3 is on the neutral side, and the UA2 Plus is a bit warmer.
@headphone_zone Thank you for your suggestion, Actually the TP 30 pro comes with same chip as the ka3 & ua2 plus, but in dual chip configuration, where ka3 & ua2 plus comes with only one. So is that going to be a big difference?
Thanks again Sir 😊
I'm currently using Moondrop Chu II. Does Jcally JM6 Pro is there an improvement on my flac album in this setup?

I have a doubt. Im using samsung s21 fe. It has only type c port. Which one i should buy right now 1. 7z zero Iem with 3.5mm jack + dac or 2. 7hz zero Iem with type c ?
Hey Joshua, we recommend going for an IEM and DAC setup as this will be better for you in the long run but we'd also like to mention that Samsung phones tend to have issues with external outputs, in case you face any issues we advise you to do a USB debugging using a reference video online. Hope this was helpful!

Hey everybody, I just bought the Sony xm5 and it seems to have a DAC inbuilt. Should I also have to buy an external one to better my experience?
Hey there, as you mentioned the XM5 comes with an inbuilt DAC hence using an external one won't make much of a difference.
@@headphone_zone thanks for the reply!
One basic doubt. The song from dac to earphones' driver still has to go in digital format via cable, right?
Nope. It goes as an analog signal from the 3.5mm port to the Earphones' driver.
Hey there, the headphone cable creates an electrical circuit that carries the audio signal (AC voltage) from a source (smartphone, amp, interface, etc.) to the headphones, which turn the audio signal into sound. Various wiring schematics are used to carry mono or stereo and unbalanced or balanced audio.
I plan on buying blon bl03. I don't have a 3.5mm on my phone. Which dac would be good for them? Or should I just use type c to 3.5mm?
Hey there, you can go for the iFi Audio - GO Link.
@@headphone_zone it costs more than the earphone. Can you suggest something on the cheaper side. Around 1000. I have a vivo x 80 pro. They gave a usb-c to 3.5mm. can that be used?
my mac has a dac with 96KHz max out. Do I need an external dac?
Your Mac likely has a built-in DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) that can handle audio output at 96KHz, which is quite good for most purposes. However, if you're looking for the best possible listening experience, especially for high-resolution audio or critical listening, an external DAC can provide even better sound quality and more advanced features. So, while your Mac's DAC is decent, an external DAC can be an excellent upgrade if you're an audiophile or have specific requirements for your audio setup.
Hello....I just brought the KZ ZEX ...but I don't have a headphone jack can I use a one plus adapter which comes for 490rs cause the adapter on your site costs more than the actual earphone idk what to do ...will the one plus adapter which comes for 490 rs impact the quality of the sound? I'm so pissed ( i have a realme GT 2 phone)
The one plus adaptor is just an adaptor and the ones available on our website are not just adaptors, they're dedicated DACs. Using a dedicated DAC will always improve the sound quality.
The adaptor from Oneplus is a simple adaptor and not a DAC, whereas the ones on our website, like the Venture Electronics- Abigail pro, Headphone Zone X ddHIFI Hi-Res DAC etc are dedicated DACs. We'd also like to add that using a dedicated DAC will always improve the sound quality.
Hi!!
Do i still need a DAC if my phone have a jack 3.5 mm entry? I have a Samsung a50 pls help
Using a DAC will always amp up the overall sound quality.
Well my LG G8X has ES9218P built in DAC. So I guess LG phones are the exception to poor DACs on smartphones.
I also use LG G8X, DAC makes a significant difference when used with it.
Suggest a perfect dac for kz zex and kz zs10pro x for basic andriod mobile

any suggetions???
With your budget, you can get a decent IEM and DAC combo. We would recommend going for the Tangzu - Wan'er S.G for your IEM, which offers great sound quality and comfort within your price range. Pairing it with the ddHiFi x Headphone Zone Hi-Res DAC will further enhance your audio experience, providing clearer sound and better detail retrieval. It's a fantastic combination that will surely elevate your listening enjoyment.

@@biswarupkumbhakar9396 what about sound blaster
Hey there, you can consider going for any of the DACs from Venture electronics.
What if you're going from your phone to a stereo? Is it still the same benefit?
Do you mean a Stereo speaker system? If your connecting it via the Aux, then you are using the Phone's in built DAC. Adding an external dedicated dac should help improve the sound quality. If you are connecting your phone to the speakers via bluetooth or a USB cable, then you would be using the speakers' in built DAC. In which case, adding a dedicated DAC wont help.

Thx before for this educating
I just new in this hobby and just buy 1 kato
Can u suggesting some portable dac that can improves my kato?
(The price should be equal or below the kato)
Hey there, the first recommendation would be the FiiO - BTR7 and the other one would be the FiiO - KA5. Both of these DACs are great, and you can make a selection based on your preference.
@@headphone_zone can you suggest me a good dac , with good build quality i use a KZ ZSN Pro x. thanks in advance
Does DAC affects the built in mic quality of the earphones?
DACs do not affect the mic quality. However, you need to keep in mind that most DACs do not support microphone passthrough.
Will a dac help in improving sound quality of sony xb55ap? I used it with apple typeC to 3.5mm but couldn't find the difference.
A DAC can definitely enhance your listening experience, but it's essential to note that using an Apple dongle with an Android phone might not yield the expected results due to power delivery issues. This could potentially be the reason why you didn't notice a difference in sound quality when using the Sony XB55AP with the Apple Type-C to 3.5mm dongle. It's worth exploring DAC options that are specifically compatible with your Android device for optimal results!
@@headphone_zone which one would you recommend at around 4-5k? I am thinking about buying sony xb910n and use it in wired mode with an external dac+amp.
Help is much appreciated.
@@arvindverma842 You can go for the iFi Audio - GO Link.
Hello! I listen to music in mp3 360kbps, if i use a dac i'm gonna hear a difference or it needs to be flac to do so?
I have some music in flac but is from Deezer, it's good? I'm going to buy the Moondrop chu2 and i'd some like advice's
Adding a DAC to your audio setup can definitely enhance your listening experience, regardless of whether you're listening to MP3 or FLAC files. While we haven't tested Deezer specifically, FLAC audio files generally contain more information than MP3 files, resulting in higher audio quality. So, if you have music in FLAC format, it's likely to sound better. As for the Moondrop Chu2, it's a good choice for enjoying high-quality audio. If you have any other questions or need advice, feel free to ask!

Hey, how are you using iem on pixel 6a, which dac are you using for it?
Hey anandh, I've a pixel 6a. how are you using iem on pixel 6a, which dac are you using for pixel 6a?
@@shivramm1905 i don't have one yet. I use a type c to 3.5mm cheap adapter at the moment. But it acts weird during calls and all. So IEM is mostly used on PC not on pixel 6a.
So is it fair to say using a dac with cheaper headphones like senheiser hd series would be a greater sound experience vs listening straight from a phone a laptop with no dac?
Yes, indeed! Connecting a DAC to your Sennheiser HD headphones can enhance your sound experience significantly. The DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) processes the audio signal more effectively, providing cleaner and more detailed sound. While the quality of your headphones matters, pairing them with a good DAC can reveal nuances in the audio that might not be as pronounced when using the built-in audio of a phone or laptop. It's a great way to unlock the full potential of your headphones and enjoy a richer listening experience.
