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

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?

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

nop

i opened the link and there's nothing but chromecast

not available in europe i guess

ye pixel isnt really avliable in alot of europe

tbh any cheapo dac is prob better than the x220 thing

maybe i should risk it and buy this one

i don't really know the difference between the small ones and this

here's a quick guide

1) do you need a dac

2) no you don't, so put that wallet away

the x220 has a garbage dac

my desktop is fine, tho
