Continuing my (unexpected) series of compact portable DAC-Amps -- hope you enjoy this episode! Please use these links to financially help this channel: Kiwi Ears Allegro amzn.to/44trrIy ($48 right now) Questyle M12i amzn.to/3JA2KAn
Just ordered this, yours is by far the best coverage on this DAC across TH-cam! Its very economical relatively in comparison to the others in the market, which also has 4.4 mm balanced output with decent sound. Subscribed 😇
This looks really cool! I've toyed with the idea of trying a slightly more expensive DAC and this might be an option I'd consider. But I have to decide if it would make a huge difference over the cheaper ones I already have with my budget range IEMs 🙂 And as I've mentioned before, my older ears. But your review tempts me so well done!
@@gearupaaron I tried to respond but don't know if it got through. My most "expensive" one is a Muse HiFi M1 DAC. But mainly it's just budget dongles from AliExpress that I've bought. And paired to my iPad Mini and connected to my budget realm IEMs and with Lossless playing they sound great to me😀
The Muse HiFi M1 DAC is my most "expensive" but l usually just use cheaper dongle DACs that I got from AliExpress. They sound great connected to Lossless on my iPad with my budget IEMs 🙂
ESS chips are more analytical, so I'd go with something that has AKM chips. If you want a warmer sound signature, go with Burr-Brown chipset, although pricier. I seem to like CS chips atm.

@@gearupaaron Sorry Aaron. I've tried to reply 4 times but it won't let me for some reason :(

Btw I just ordered the TRN ST7's. There are no reviews for them yet, but I really like their Orcas so I thought I'd try these too 🙂
Then , what i should buy moondrop dawn pro or kiwi ears Allegro?
Both are just as good (very similar for the price), so go with which looks best to you.

Thanks for posting this video Aaron!
I appreciate ya, man!
@@gearupaaron Dude! The pleasure is all mine!
Should I use this for my Simgot ew200 which is very bright. I need add more warmer tone, thicker mid & more bass. Is it good to pair with allergo?
