Hidizs SD2


Hidizs SD2 is the latest Dac Amp adaptor from Hidizs with ES9270 Dac chip and supports up to PCM 32bit/384bit and DSD128 and with an output power of 70mw at 32ohms and available only with 3.5mm no 4.4 balance version, it comes with a female type c to male lightning otg cable which allows you to use the SD2 like a regular dongle dac.

The SD2 is made out of metal frame and a plastic faceplate very compact and with a very odd polygon shape which when use on a cellphone or dap will look and feel unnatural for me but when i plug it in the side of my laptop or tablet the shape and the angle makes total sense with the cable of my iem facing me at an angle that is very convenient and doesnt get in the way.

The SD2 may not win in the looks department for me but sure wins in the sound, what it lacks in beauty makes up for it with its performance and portability, it has a neutral to a little bright tonality with good imaging and layering of voices and instruments, balance accurate bass, mids are a bit forward and emphasized with just the right amount of sparkle in treble. for its size and 35-40usd price the sd2 can out perform in sound some of my dongle dacs thats twice its size and cost.

  Kiwi Ears x Z Reviews Serene – The Planar That Forgot to Be “Serene” Pros:  *Scales really well. *Powerful, deep, and textured bass that still retains speed and control. *Smooth and natural sounding midrange with lifelike vocals and good instrument presence. *Treble is relaxed and fatigue-free easy to listen to for long sessions. *Excellent external ambient sound isolation. Cons:  *Requires a powerful amplifier/DAC to really shine; under-powered sources don’t let it show its best. *the cups could be a little larger. (nitpick) Let’s just get this out of the way the Kiwi Ears x Z Reviews Serene might be the least “serene” headphone I’ve ever heard. The name makes you think of something calm, smooth, and relaxing, but the moment you hit play, it hits back. Hard The first thing that jumps out isn’t detail or air or staging it’s the bass, and it comes at you like it’s got something to prove. Big, thick, meaty bass that slaps with authority but still keeps its composure. It’s...

  Snowsky Melody: A Dongle With Vintage Soul and Modern Clarity Pros: . * Unique design with real wood and brass—premium and refreshing * Compact and lightweight despite upscale materials * Clean, transparent sound with no coloration * Solid power for IEMs and portable headphones (especially balanced out) * Excellent 10-band PEQ software support across devices Cons: . * Not the most “fun” tuning, some may prefer more warmth or color * Limited headroom for very demanding headphones The Snowsky Melody isn’t your run-of-the-mill dongle DAC. Most dongles chase a sleek, modern look with aluminum shells and sharp edges, but this one goes in the opposite direction it’s unapologetically vintage. The body is carved from real walnut wood, framed with brass accents. Instead of looking like a piece of pocket tech, it feels like it belongs on the shelf of a 70s hi-fi rack, next to a warm glowing receiver. It’s one of those designs that makes you stop and actually admire it, which is rare for so...

FiiO DM15 R2R : Old-school soul, modern execution

  FiiO DM15 R2R : Old-school soul, modern execution Pros:  * Musical, R2R-style tuning with natural timbre and good note weight * Strong output power for a portable unit, especially from balanced out * Versatile all-in-one design: CD player, USB DAC, Bluetooth transmit, and digital transport * Clean and stable coaxial and optical output for use with external DACs * Well-implemented Bluetooth with aptX HD and aptX Adaptive and excellent stability * Built-in EQ and filters that are actually useful, not gimmicky * Surprisingly handy IR remote that improves day-to-day usability * Solid build and thoughtful feature set for both portable and desktop use Cons:  * No LDAC support * Front panel buttons are small and not ideal for larger hands (nitpick) I’ll say it straight up. The FiiO DM15 R2R is, to my ears, the best compact disc player FiiO has put out so far. More than that, it’s the best sounding portable CD player I’ve personally spent time with. That’s not something I say l...
