Monk after Shanling announced the HE1 and a very interesting amplifier for the more purists in this price range, I am also considering the very interesting Shanling H0 as a great offer.
Question to you - I was looking at the h2, which seems to be dac/amp Bluetooth dongle, TF card music player all in one and looks sleek too. Is there any reason you are looking at the h0 but not the h2? I know h2 is a little older but similarly priced
I tell you that the main factor for me is not having a battery and Bluetooth, these things tend to increase the value of products and take away the essence of those who value total audio products (old school) but I respect those who like them.
Another great review. W.R.T the Onix Alpha... on my unit, the USB-C connector seems to have loosened up where if I move my DAC, I lose power. I tried it on multiple cables where I had power but if the DAC is moved, it can lose power. I don't have a splitter cable but it makes me think that you may have a defective DAC due to the USB-C (female) connection. I'm guessing, but maybe it explains your issue as well? Now with the 11/11 sales, I'm looking at getting something to replace the Alpha but also fill a slightly different niche. Looking at the Onix XM5 vs the XDUOO Pro where I have something more transportable rather than a dongle that relies on the USB-C for everything and being in the pocket can put that stress on the USB-C port. This way I can take it around the house, or pack it in my work bag when I travel. You've reviewed both... would love to hear your thoughts. While the Onix XM5 isn't on sale... if you get the Rohm you're back to the same price... , not including the Sparkos upgrade if you can find it. The XM5 has both wi-fi and BT. While I don't use Tidal, I do use airplay which would also be a plus. Thoughts? -Thx
Wow I was waiting for this bro, thank you very very much!
Will there be another Rohm dac??
