I've listened to many dongle and even desktop DAC reviews, and I've somehow missed hearing about previous and next track! This is a most basic feature of wireless buds (and old wired headphones with ANC) I use all the time to avoid having to wake up my phone. Thank you so much for mentioning this feature!! Is this unique among DAC's or is it something reviewers just don't bother mentioning? My last question if you don't mind...is there a desktop DAC/AMP powered by AC that provides this feature, and as good performance for not too much more $? I'd like to avoid wearing out my phones battery, or using a split USB power and data cable with power banks that will need replacement. I'm a new subscriber and am very impressed with your insightful, very helpful, and pleasant to watch reviews!
Very detailed Review!!! I have a question, Recently I bought Aful Explorer which is a bit bass heavy and layback kind of iem. What if i pair Tp50 with aful explorar? If you help a little.
IF the reviewer to busy for answerin ur quest.. Hmm.. power hungry.. Of course bra a lots of OTG these days.. Here's 1..frm Centrance yup the new upgrade frm last m8 or wutever name it is(bout 8yrs backs) new 1 called Ampersand.. Yup OTG power hungry hippo.. Ha3 welcome noobs.. Peace!
Hi Sir! I know you choose daps instead dongles if you have to,but i would like to know which sounds for you better! The new hiby r4 dap or epz tp50?Is there big diffences in the sound? Thank you 🫡
The TP50 more mid forward , the Alpha more Organic and smoother but not warm and the more resolving of the two by alot. New IBasso en route with 4 CS43131 Dacs and a volume wheel I think it will be double the Alpha ???
I got it with EPZ's 530 to go with it. You should try Fiio, which is also a great value. By the way, they've announced the BTR7 iteration later this year that has lossless Bluetooth!
for simgot supermix 4, which filter suit best? i feel the subbass and uppermid a little bit too much, while adding more midbass punch would be great
Slow filter worked best.

Tempotec makes something like that I had one once forget what it was called. Personally I like DAP'S
Thank you.@@tonedeafmonk
Fiio KA17 has a dedicated usbc power port to avoid battery drain of your phone
Very detailed Review!!!
I have a question,
Recently I bought Aful Explorer which is a bit bass heavy and layback kind of iem. What if i pair Tp50 with aful explorar? If you help a little.
That would be very good and set the filter to fast
Those opamps in the tp50 are Ricore like Shanling uses in M1s, they are nice and can also be tuned kinda warm, like Shanling house sound used to be
Good info, I really do think this dongle at $115 is still the one to beat.
@@tonedeafmonk seems like it, I am not sure if it's my next buy, or if I am getting cayin ru7 next.. Or ru6
EPZ TP50 or SHANLING UA4 ? What would you prefer? thks
EPZ The more I listen to it the more I appreciate it for its Sound Quality and Value with all its features .
What would you suggest for power hungry IEMs like Monarch MK3 and Prestige LTD? Is a desktop amp dac setup the only way to go?

But if u into IEM... FC6 frm hiby just enough yup cutes r2r OTG... Peace2!
@@masterazlan6999 I talked to someone with an Xduoo xd05 bal 2, and they said ithey would still prefer more power for their Prestige LTD

Not even ideal sorry that dongle has barely 100mw and SE only

Thank you 🫡
Pure SQ on DSD Files the R4 is smoother everything else the TP50
@@tonedeafmonkThank you very much!
Hi, which one to choose :
Epz TP50 or Fiio KA17 ?
Thanks !!
KA17 if you want more power
Tp50 vs onix alpha xl1 which one is warmer? Which one more analytical? Which one more frontal mid/vocal?
The TP50 more mid forward , the Alpha more Organic and smoother but not warm and the more resolving of the two by alot.

I love my btr15 but will definitely upgrade to the btr17 for battery life and lossless codec
How does it sound with the epz 530? Does it lower the highs a bit and brings some thicker note weight and dynamics?
Naa.. My dongles Endgame already.. Anyway thx.. Peace!
Whats the dongle called ?
