@carlpei6570 I emailed HZ giving reference of this video & they acknowledged your point on DAC compatibility in that video - they said it works for some & doesn't for others for the same phone model so it's a hit or miss. All I need is surety that the DAC or any DAC with a Mic Input (TRRS) will work for sure and that's where I am stuck considering Samsung S23. I am thinking of purchasing a future proof ROSESELSA RS9039 ES9039Q2M DAC or the Rose Technics Rz-500 USB-DAC/Amp to solve the problem of uncertainty of DAC working or not on S23.

Can you compare it with the AUDIOCULAR - D11 CS43131 from concept kart. Because both are priced under 2000 and I think while cx 31993 chip is an entry level chip CS43131 used to be a upper mid tire/premium chip. I know apart from the chip other factors also play role but I would love to see a comparison. Also audicular products with cx31993 are available form Rs.700-Rs.1100 range. If possible compare such product also.
I don't find the audiocular cx31993 to be good enough, it's okay and does the job but has emphasis on treble and makes sound brighter. Though I only have this one as of now but because of the said reason I have to buy a new one. Also the output volume is not loud enough considering I am using it with iPhone 15, also it doesn't work properly with my redmi note 10

Tried this on Samsung M31 mobile with Poweramp app and FLAC files. There is no improvement in quality compared to built in DAC of the phone. This DAC doesn't worth Rs 2000.
What streaming service did you use? Bcz Spotify doesn't support lossless media even in Paid tier. You need apple music (it's available on Android too), and manually enable hi res lossless option in the settings. Then you will probably notice a difference.
DACs do make a substantial difference, something like Hexa will benefit from this. The difference isn't always immediately noticeable, but you will keep finding instances where things sound cleaner than your phone/PC directly connected. The difference won't make your Hexa sound like a higher end IEM tho, but for good IEMs, it is better to have a decent source.
Thanks brother for making this video. But headphone zone team told me the issue with Samsung S23 that dac may not work.. 😢. So I am thinking whether to buy moondrop chu 2 or fiio jd1 or tangzu warner sg along with ddhifi dac.. Please suggest which one I should buy and shall I buy the dac also.

In supported phones along with apl that uses the dac, the system will ask you to give the app full access of the dac... now thag doesnt work with samsung..
Thank you for making me aware of this adapter. I use Sennheiser bt 450. Will this make a significant difference in audio quality on my devices (laptop, mobile)?
No, it can only improve audio quality of wired audio gear, and the BT450 has drivers which are driven well enough by its inbuilt amps, so there's no improvement to be gained by connecting it in wired more, even to more expensive DACs.
My pc gives me static noise when I put in my earphones in one of the headphone ports directly. Will this dongle fix that since it works on digital signal?
Please reply to query it's urgent. If This DAC has Mic pass through support then if my iem cable doesn't have mic, and while listening to songs using this DAC and i get a call then can i use phones mic for calling purposes?
ofc any dac will make difference compared to the stock one present in any phone but in iPhone most of the dacs (even higher priced), don't support mic passthrough on iphones so our phone microphone will be used in that case

Brother if i already have a 3.5mm jack in my android device.. shd i even go for a dac? I mean.. if it's already inbuilt then why not jst use it as is..
Any dac irrespective of the price should sound the same. Because a dac is supposed to sound transparent, while more expensive dac may provide higher bit rates and sample frequencies, anything above 48 khz and 16 bit is honestly indistinguishable for the human ear.(That included the best of human ears). Don't know about this specific dac but most chifi dacs are objectively worse than the usb c dongles provided by apple or samsung. They colour the sound and have inferior signal to noise ratio, total harmonic distortion, and op impedences.
@@TechReflex Quite the opposite really. Would've appreciated it if you had actually countered what I said instead of taking a short-cut and posting a rather snide response.
@@bablusonavne384 I have this dac, and Apple's dongle, this one is significantly better sounding. Also, you are totally wrong about the 'all DACs should sound same because they're supposed to sound transparent.' analogue signal that these DACs produce varies in quality.
@@TechReflex No, A DAC is supposed to convert the digital signal to an analogue without adding color to it and its quite necessary so it translates better across all headphones , if you really wanted to change the tuning of your headphone, just use an eq , don't even bother wasting money on a dac. The biggest reason that this DAC may be perceived as better quality is loudness, it is definitely louder than the apple dongle, and generally a louder sound is perceived as better. It could also mean that the DAC when combined with your headphones fills in for the headphone inadequacies. Or that it is a better DAC than the apple (objectively) which is highly unlikely, considering most chifi dacs including the ones from good brands like moon drop aren't up to mark. "analogue signal that these DACs produce varies in quality" Can you define quality in this context ??
