then tell me which iem should i buy

budget?

what budget

i want to upgrade my ve monks to something *little* better

so like 20 euros?

monks arent iems, so do you actually mean iems or do you mean earbuds?

slightly

i know they are earbuds

i want iems

fiio f3 should be under 20eur

yes, i already saw those ones on ali

if not, phillips she3700, or quadbeat le630

and the tips? stock ones ok?

or save up a bit more for a carbo tenore

down to you

the new rose iems are meant to be good....

24.50$ on penonaudio

i wouldnt trust rose

i wanted the philips, but there are none in europe ibelieve

rose has had a pretty bad record when it comes to qc

i think i'll end up with the f3

but i'm still searching for a "nice" dac

pixel 2 dongle

i cant put that in my x220

yes you can

get a usb C to to A adapter

🤔

sabrj da-2 is nice for windows use

50$ though

but i'd just get a pixel 2 dongel

did you ever tried a pcm2704?

people really like the rose north forest on head fi

im really tmepted to try it

something with that chip

https://penonaudio.com/rose-north-forest.html

this?

yes

no detachable cable tho

"Waist rounded design and the surface gloss of highlights add radiance and beauty to each other, unobtrusive and unpretentious."

sounds good to me

where can i find the pixel 2 dac?
