Decent budget headphone amp for the price, its all from China these days. Schiit and several other companies all claim to be very high quality but it seems like your paying a premium when a lot of Chinese DAC/ amps do mostly the same thing. Only one pair of ears! Just like you say. Thanks for the considerate review.

We are definitely on the same page there. I’ve had access to some high end equipment, and I’m going to say that sometimes you have to pay for quality, but after some point the price just doesn’t justify increase in sound quality or the value of the equipment, and everyone’s hearing just isn’t the same. What one person likes may not be that special to someone else. I do appreciate you and everyone watching, and please continue to join in on the conversation.

Hi - I am a recent subscriber; I really like your reviews and follow your advice or make buying decisions informed by your review. You also did a review on the FX-Audio DAC-X6. Which of these 2 do you think is better (sound-wise). They have different sizes of headphone jack but I prioritize sound quality (keeping in mind that these are affordable, starter DACs). Thanks for your advice/opinion and thanks for a great and informative channel.

First let me Thank You for being a subscriber and for your positive words, they always matter a lot to me. This is just my opinion, and it’s a bias opinion. I prefer a softer or warmer sound, and because of that I would pick the FX-Audio just out of the box, but I also like tone control and that would lead me to the Aiyima, and with the tone control I can soften the sound. So if I already have tone control in my system I would pick the warmer sound of the FX Audio because a really like the warmer sound. But if you prefer a brighter sound or tone control, my pick is the Aiyima. I think that both of these DACs are very nice sounding, and not just as starter, but just something for your system. P.S. At the time of the reply, the Aiyima was connected to one of my systems and the FX Audio was on a shelf, so I use both of them. I hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply,@@Viewmydesktop. After I commented, I went through your videos again and found your review/comparison between the FX-Audio X6 and the newer X6 Mk2. I ended up ordering the Mk2 😂 The Bluetooth connectivity was the key. Liked the aluminum face but chose the black because I figured the white text on black would be easier to see. Also, I read that the MK2 had a new (Sabre) Chipset. Thanks for a great channel. Keep putting out videos; they are simple, easy to follow and down to earth. One of the best IMHO.

Thank you, @DrFlippin I really appreciate you making the positive comments. I’m also glad you seen the video about the DAC-X6 MKII. I didn’t think to ask you if you had any interest in Bluetooth. So I’m glad you seen the video, and I agree with you, between the FX-Audio DAC-X6 MKII, the FX-Audio DAC-X6 or the AIYIMA DAC-A2 all of which I like, my choice would also be the DAC-X6 MKII. I agree with you about the Black over the Silver, I too think the Black is easier to see, but I’m okay with the Silver for now. I’m just glad you got the one you will possibly like. GREAT CHOICE.

Amazon is delivering my X6 MKII tomorrow; I am eager to take it for a spin. Mainly want to listen to Spotify through my budget HIFI system. I think one of the reasons why people like your channel and look forward to your next clip is because you give honest, down-to-earth and sensible opinions and advice. People like me want to buy an affordable DAC but have no clue about how much a good starter DAC should cost, and which ones to lean toward. Amazon has a LOT of DACs, and the prices go from $10 to $300+(!). So your videos are really helpful and educational. I don't have the time and $ to buy several DACs to test them and choose the best one. So, your recommendations are more appreciated than you might think. Speaking about DACs, can I make a suggestion for a video in the future? Can you guide us in how to use a CD player with digital coaxial/optical out with a DAC? Used CD players are very affordable and I've heard that these decks can be used as a 'transport' and that the sound quality produced through a good DAC can be better than the original CD player. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Would you recomend this DAC for the beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 250 ohms?

Thanks for watching @willicer2575, My knowledge about Headphones is very limited, I have been trying to expand my HiFi world to include Headphones, but right now I have only experimented with budget level headphones, and even thought my knowledge is limited, I do think that these headphones are above the budget level that I’m concentrating on. With that being said I can only say that based on the rating on this Headphone Amp chip and the Impedance 250 Ohm stated on these Headphones I would not see this as a very good match. But I still have a lot to learn about Headphones, so if you know of or find out more about this, I would love to hear whatever you find out.
