    I have the ifi Gryphon running some Dan Clark Aeon closed back. Is there a better DAC/Amp? Thanks

  • @davidmichael3189
    @davidmichael3189 2 місяці тому +1

    When I use the 4.4 Balanced from my Dan Clarks into my iFi Gryphon, I always experience some distortion. I also had the same distortion in my Fiio BTR7. How can I stop the distortion. Doesn't happen when I use 3.5mm. Thanks

      Despite him defining the term incorrectly. "Coda" literally means "tail", and marks the end section of a composition, and not the TRANSITION to the end as the reviewer stated.

    Is there any point in getting a DAC if im streaming low bitrate music? I use spotify premiums HQ which is only 320kbps.. im not sure the source files are good enough to get value out of a DAC

    • @ropeburn6684
      @ropeburn6684 7 місяців тому +2

      320kbps is easily better than your ears. Phones usually sound mediocre (with a few exceptions) and don't have enough power to drive more demanding headphones. So yes, an external DAC/headphone amp is worth it.
      Maybe don't spend 300 moneys if your source is Spotify. 100 is more than enough.

    Luxury & Precision W4 and Cayin RU7 are the best dongles I've ever heard. The W4 actually gets you about 95% of the Mojo2 performance but some consider the W4 better than the Mojo2. Can't wait for the iBasso DC-Elite to drop.

    гспд, как можно сравнивать портативный ru6 с коробкой от iFi Gryphon? К тому же летом 2023 года уже был доступен ru7, но в рейтинге его нет. Очень объективно

    Telling people what type of sound is good for what type of music, is like telling them what they should eat and will like for dinner. It's a matter of taste, do people have the exact same taste? I am a jazz musician and I find analytical sound signatures boring and liveless but according to you book I should listen to rap and RNB. This is funny

    • @moon-audio
      @moon-audio  9 місяців тому +6

      Everyone hears differently! We are just speaking on what we typically recommend for customers who ask us these questions. Definitely understand how jazz and analytical gear are not a match for everyone. Thanks for your comment! 🙂

      Most folks who like analytical gear wouldn't tell you they like a clinical or sterile sound, at least in my experience. And I would bet there aren't many folks who prefer a "clinical" or "sterile" sound. Just my two cents! 😅

    The cheapest one is over $200 that is stealing !
    Look just stop promoting for Hugo dacs no one with the right set of mind will pay $2500 except if he has a studio and he earns that much of money on one hour.
    PEOPLE I WILL GIVE YOU GOOD ALTERNATIVES WITH MUCH MORE CAPABILITIES:
    ● LG V60 now it is for $200 it is a mobile phone with super quality sound(it has 4 dacs) and a good phone speakers.
    ● Moondrop MIAD 01 for less than $350 a modern mobile phone dedicated for audiophiles with two jacks one 3.5mm and the other one is 4.4mm it will brighten your day.
    its speakers not much but the sound quality that came from the jacks is comparable to the external DACs because it has Citruss Master Hi-Fi DAC chip.
