2 CHU or NOT 2 CHU... The Pros and Cons of DSP

[@Ivan-up7ny]

Pros of DSP: 1. Offers the option to customize sound through the Moon Drop app, potentially enhancing the listening experience. 2. Provides versatility for users who prefer EQ adjustments to tailor sound to their preferences. 3. Can potentially improve overall sound quality and performance when utilized effectively. 4. Comes with accessories like a quality cable and pouch, enhancing the value proposition. 5. Suitable for Android users seeking EQ functionality without additional adapters. Cons of DSP: 1. Limited compatibility and functionality for iPhone users without additional adapters, adding extra cost and inconvenience. 2. May introduce delays and artifacts during playback, impacting the listening experience negatively. 3. Custom EQ settings saved in the DSP may not work with other devices, limiting its usability across different platforms. 4. Not necessarily advantageous for desktop setups compared to traditional analog cables, which may offer better sound quality and fewer issues. 5. Requires careful consideration of individual preferences and use cases to determine if the benefits outweigh the limitations.

Is Chu 2 dsp good for watching movies?? this will be my 1st iem

[@iurigrang]

How is the first con of DSP true if you still need an adapter with the 3.5mm version?

[@christopherdsuza7531]

For those who use IEM for PC can't you just EQ using other software rather then rely on DSP setting of the cable? Just curious, still trying to figure out the ins and outs of DSP. I've never gotten one nor really played with EQ settings (don't trust myself enough to do so lol but I am interested in quality sound. Also can the DSP be used for PC or is it a mobile only kinda deal with the apps. Kinda silly that they terminate with a type c as the default. Should just use a 3.5mm and come with a dongle or something, or vice versa. Or perhaps a dongle to convert to a type C to a type A usb port.

[@5786sagar]

I initially shortlisted the Chu2Dsp, but I chose the Fiio JD1 instead because it has a dedicated DAC within the USB-C IEM itself. A dedicated audio DAC is essential for sound quality, as DSP chips are mainly for conversion, while a DAC significantly enhances audio performance. Many phones today lack a high-quality DAC, so having one built into the IEM is a big advantage, especially for sound enthusiasts. The build quality may be just okay, but the DAC, along with its hardware tuning and five preset options, makes it a great choice. The only drawback is that it doesn’t come with a carrying pouch. However, I found an affordable option-a small pouch from a brand called Audiocullar on Amazon for about $5. Now, I’m just waiting for the IEM to arrive.

[@stunnx4421]

⁠​⁠@@5786sagarcould you share an official reference where it is mentioned that Fiio JD1 comes with a DAC instead of DSP? If it truly comes with DAC I'll also prefer that one. Thanks!

[@anatol1204]

Eq is very important.Its a pity that there are not many dac- amps or cables that have good EQs

[@ШоколадныйЗаяц-ч3ц]

ordered the 3.5mm variant a couple of days ago and only now started wondering if I made a mistake - and this video appeared in my recommendations right away lol

[@Abhishek-st7lg]

So 3.5 mm or dsp. Which one is better

[@ШоколадныйЗаяц-ч3ц]

@@Abhishek-st7lg dsp is just eq. if you have android with no audio jack then dsp version is better than pairing with some chinese noname usbc dac. but if you have one / planning to get a wired or bluetooth dac / if you dont change eq at all then in all these cases 3.5mm

[@ШоколадныйЗаяц-ч3ц]

@@Abhishek-st7lg personally i don’t use eq - it makes the sound dynamic inconsistent between various genres/styles - and the thought that im the reason of it doesn’t … for me

[@fang_music]

​@user-kg1ib1zc2r don't most phones have an eq already? And there's eq apps too

[@ClumsyHumane]

I'll go with the DSPs, these will be my first IEMs and I don't plan to get a DAC because good ones are kinda expensive, plus the DSPs have a mic and I will be able to use them directly with my phone. If I like these I'll consider buying something more expensive in the future along with a DAC to get a full experience

[@kanecitizen]

The stinky type C to 3.5mm dongle is more than enough to get that audiophile itch.

[@kurison]

most dongles have cheapo DACs in them, which actually makes the sound bad.

[@QOTSAPT]

2:45 On the quarks dsp nobody mentioned this problem but seems like the noise floor issue is still here, it isn't more noticeable because the dsp shuts off after it stops outputting sound. Unacceptable issue.

[@JaCKal_0000]

bought a new phone without a headPjack and now im panicking, and thank you for informing me

[@AbirMakkar]

at 2:02 you said "anything besides the 15 pro, does they not work with normal 15? they too have type C...

[@jayyaudio]

Thanks for letting me know

[@IcyyX_]

would the dsp version have better microphone quality then 3.5mm and would you recommend either of those rather then the zerro 2 i was intially about to get? i mainly use iems for gaming and i dont mind using a usb c

Bro just hearted the comment and didn't reply lmao😂

So i have a question/concern.. i would say i play video games competitively so “imaging” of peoples footsteps, sounds, etc are a must.. but i also do listen to music and i value the way music can sound.. i want to stray away from headphones and get myself IEM’s.. i have the thieaudio hype 4 in mind or do you recommend another choice (budget friendly)??

Hey Jay, how would you say these compare to the Zero 2? I recently purchased the Zero 2 to upgrade from the Zero 1 but I find the bass is a bit more than I expected. Thanks! My main interest is beautiful vocals at this price point.

[@pmdthewizard]

Hey Jay,might be a little late to the party but can you possibily review the Moondrop Space Travel TWS? Heard it has great tuning for a TWS Totally agree with you btw, DSP still have a long way to go before matching traditional analog, but with way the Chifi industry is moving anything is possible

[@jayyaudio]

Sure bro

[@pmdthewizard]

@@jayyaudio appreciate you bro 🙏

[@Tssukiii]

Bro, I just received mine And they’re shit sadly For the money being a TWS they are fine, but my Soundcore Space A40 are way better still not being from an audiophile company The Space Travel is also a couple of levels below the Hola & Chu in terms of clarity and detail Tbh I don’t get the positive reviews It is at a good price, but doesn’t compete with wired IEMs in any way Also worse than cheap TWS under 100$ Hope I could help :)

[@pmdthewizard]

@@Tssukiii thank for the feedback bro, appreciate it too and es you did helpit's actually great hearing from a actual consumer, well i figured it must have flaws judging from the price. Thanks again :)

[@Eke-vv7ie]

As the DSP is sonically almost identical to the normal Chu 2, would it be a good choice for only android listening? I'm having problems with my apple dongle not being loud enough and thought teh usb-c port could prevent the issue.

[@jayyaudio]

Ya

[@tkangwei]

Get a DAC dongle like Venture electronics Odo. Cheap and easy fix.
