Hi Gavin,
How does this compare to the HIFiMe Tiny DAC you reviewed before? I have an Android phone and I had to buy the USB Audio Player and the build quality doesn’t look as good as the iBasso.
Thanks,

Hi Shailesh, this is a better DAC , better build & having the app means you can use any streaming service, any audio from your phone at the best outPut to the dac.

Thanks Gavin,
I will look at this when I upgrade my phone. Luckily the S10 5G has the headphone jack but the Note 20, which I am hoping to get, won’t. I returned the S20 Ultra as I didn’t think it was much of an improvement on my current phone.

I wasn’t overly impressed with the Ultra either.

Hi Gavin.
Do you know if this works with the P30 Pro? I bought a cheap DAC which has a Realtek chip. When I opened up USB Audio Player Pro I got a message saying that there wasn’t enough power to enable the DAC (or words to that effect). People seem to think that Huawei phones can be problematic with DACs.
