[@Laleeee100]

The ka17 is harsh in treble ?

[@hieuinh7840]

can feel the sharpness very clearly with my 64Audio U12t & Symphonium Helios

[@04da70e6]

Yeah Treble and Bass are quite boosted

[@Laleeee100]

@@hieuinh7840 sharp or harsh and fatiguing ?

[@amanieux]

was dc07 pro not good enough (price/performance ratio) to be in this selection ?

[@Abyss12666]

No. In fact, this video was made half a year ago and does not cover all products.

[@housepianist]

There are hundreds of dongles out there. You can’t review them all. Don’t take it personally.

[@amanieux]

@@housepianist just trying to understand if the selection of dongles reviewed were randomly selected/ sent by companies or if they were considered as the best/worth of being reviewed by the reviewer ( on the audio forum a few dongles float on the top as the best of the moment : ka17,dc07pro,ua6,dc elite,m15i )

[@housepianist]

@ it could have been any of those ways of choosing those dongles. But when someone comes along and says “why didn’t you review this dongle or that dongle”, it’s nothing personal. It’s like some people are offended if certain ones weren’t chosen to be reviewed. We just don’t know what the criteria was in this selection with the hundreds of dongles in existence, it’s impossible to review every one and there are always going to be ones that are not chosen because of that. So if the dc07 pro was not selected, it’s just how it worked out for this particular review for whatever reason. It was likely not intentional.

[@amanieux]

@@housepianist agree that not all reviews can have a selection that pleases everyone and 99% of these dongles will disappear after a year or two. a suggestion to improve the reviews : always include for reference the ones that are well known so it can be used for comparison ( apple dongle, chord mojo, topping g5) like ASR does when they review a dac/amp they always add topping dx3 pro as a reference for comparison

[@nikleiser5888]

I am surprised your comparison does not mention the Avantree Voyager, Fiio BTR17 and BTR15. Whats your opinion on them?

[@Abyss12666]

This video was actually completed half a year ago.

[@nikleiser5888]

@@Abyss12666 Are you going to make a new video with the new products ?

[@housepianist]

Do you know how many dongles exist in the audio market? It’s a mystery why so many people are “surprised” when they don’t see their favorite dongles being reviewed.

Is this an AI voice? 😅
