is it placebo or ?

it is because of better connector fit

i'm trying to use my MDR in my Mi5 right now and it feels really good ! Clear sound AF

so i need to use a DAC

?

yes,100% must use dac

your life is otherwise meaningless

Good chink dac?

I would like to know too

you dont need dacs

especially not on phones

no, for my thinkpad

<:thvnk:332928260004642827> wat

I really feel like I'm hearing shit on my thinkpad

I would even say that my zircons on my mi5 feel better

you can just buy a usb dac or soundcard

are they cheap ?

you can get cheap ones yeah

is this one good ? https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-Breeze-Audio-ESS-ES9018K2M-AD823-SA9023-USB-DAC-Decoder-External-Sound-Card-Headphone-Amplifier/32762415473.html?

Try to guss

i would just say get a cheap usb sound card or pixel dongle, or spend $100 for topping d10

it is k i guss

but pixel dongle needs usb C does it ?

you could use the adapter

it works with PC if you get an adapter

it is like 30cents

the thinkpad has a bad dac, the one in your smartphone is better

also make sure the connector is fit in snugly

oh okay so it's really worth it compared to some big DAC ?

the pixel dongle

https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/pixel-usb-c-audio-measurements-t3691535

for the equipment you have its easily comparable to a "big" dac

as long as you don't have high impedence earphones you're fine

can i buy it in europe ? I suppose it's not on chink sites

https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_headphone_adapter

not working from here

you can try ebay too but you have to make sure they state its the original google one

you can buy it in *some* euro countries

eeerrr can't find it

do you think simple usb sound cards are as good as DAC ? I don't even know what are the differences between them

Thinking of getting the ZS10 when my cheque goes in instead.
