Hi Mike, Just got one of these yesterday and my mind is blown. The power of this tiny dongle is mindblowing , this surpases my current gold standard for power the IFI Go bar that dongle is a beast in itself. This dongle appears to fly under the recommended dongle radar and is overlooked in favour of high end dongles like Cayin RU7 , Questyle M15 , Hiby FC6 etc I love mine!
Put us to listening to Anastasia soundtrack. Among all animated movies it is by far one of the best if not the best to ever take place my favorite is Aleeysha‘s recording. ❤
Dumb newbie question here. I use a Etymotic ER3XR and a Denon d7200 with either my MacBook Pro (connected directly at the audio jack) or with an iPhone 15 pro using the apple usbc to audio jack dongle (small DAC). I stream from Apple Music and using as baseline a music that is labeled hi-res lossless 24bit 192kHz: would you believe I will benefit using the AK HC4 (or 3), or given my setup it would not make much difference?
Judge by brands??... Inside it pals contains akm4493, Have u tried old skol Q5S TC and inside it has dual akm4493 + worlds most linear amps..dual THX aaa as modular amps options,, yup cute like those korean ak.. Ha4..Welcome old timer noobs.. Peace!

I like both the movie soundtrack and the broadway play soundtrack.
I'm shocked you never made a video on the IE900. I love mine btw
I should... :)
What’s better this or the hb1 i currently have the btr7 but find it a bit to warm would these be a upgrade
Every time I connect the hc4 to my tablet, the led light blinking, is it normal?

both your IEM and Denon can provide great resolution in the music. The HC4 will definitely be a benefit.
