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.

  FiiO QX13 : Precision Tuning Meets Pure Muscle Pros:  * Serious power (900mW+900mW in desktop mode) * ESS SABRE PRO DAC sounds detailed yet natural * Clean background even with sensitive IEMs * Full PEQ and intuitive screen UI * Sleek, durable design with optional carbon fiber shell * Works with Estick power bank and charges while in use * Great synergy across headphones and IEMs Cons:  * Gets warm in desktop mode (not hot, just warm) FiiO’s not just playing around in the dongle space anymore. The QX13 isn’t a toe-dip, it’s a full-on cannonball splash into territory that used to belong to entry-level DAPs. After using the KA13, KA15 and KA17, I figured FiiO had already maxed out what a dongle could be. Turns out, I was wrong. The QX13 doesn't just raise the bar, it throws it across the room. :) This is the most powerful dongle DAC I’ve ever tried so far. And I’m not just talking about volume here. I mean actual desktop-level power and performance packed into a chassis t...
  Fosi Audio GR70 Tube Amp  Clean Tube Goodness with Zero Fuss Pros:  *Dead silent noise floor *Clean, resolving sound with true tube warmth *Lush, organic mids and airy treble *Solid metal build with compact footprint * Subtle and refined Bass/treble tone controls *Dual headphone outs + RCA in/out *Preamp and headphone out work simultaneously Cons:  *Volume knob could use more tactile feel *300mW output may be limiting for demanding headphones The GR70 delivers that classic tube warmth without the usual baggage no hiss, no hum, no overly romanticized grit, It doesn’t try too hard to look vintage or sound overly colored just for the sake of nostalgia. Instead, it walks a fine line: giving you that smooth, rich, musical character tubes are known for, while keeping things clean, articulate, and surprisingly modern in execution. What really sets the GR70 apart from other affordable tube amps is how quiet it is. I’m talking about an impressively low noise floor, even whe...
  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...
