Has the FiiO QX13 taken the dongle DAC crown?

  There's a reason  most graphic eqs (parametric or not) have an overall gain slider on audio players to stop any clipping

  Great review ! But I notice you rarely ever mention soundstage size. For us soundstage lovers that’s very important. For example , my fiio ka11 has a wider soundstage than my kensei and RU9 .  Of course the ka11 is lacking in some ways but it’s god tier for gaming . If you could add a little soundstage info it would be greatly appreciated.

  I like what FiiO did with the eSticks to expand battery life. Not only do the portables get more runtime (I think it works with this model and another), but it also unlocks the option for higher power amplification.

  Love to see the dongle world continue to move forward. The Apple dongle still has a cult following for a reason, if not underpowered.

  Probably not the first to point this out but unbalanced connections have left and right split as well, Balanced adds another channel to both sides. One signal of each channel is phase-inverted twice (at the start and at the end) allowing for interfiering noise to get filtered out (plus making the signal 6dB louder)

  The intro is reminiscent of Iphone launch by Steve Jobs,.<br><br>Iphone &nbsp;-- It is a communication device, a internet device and and ipod all in one. <br>QX13 -- DAC + AMP + EQ + Power; all in one.

  w4 is a quad 2 channels dac &nbsp;but qx13 is a single 8 channel dac so both put 4 output in paralel to reduce noise and boost current

  I have watched many reviews on this product and I think you did the best job overall! &nbsp;I&apos;m looking for someone to compare it to the Questyle 15i before I purchase anything.
