My pleasure!

🤘

Thanks. Looking forward to PD5 as well

Thanks, and you are right, P20 does synergize really well with this Allegro for great transparent yet non offensive sound

Selamat siang! 😁

✌️😁

Welcome 😊

Thanks!. If you don't mind longer cables, have a look at my video on Magtame cables, especially for desktop usage. Or you can look for iBasso CB18 which I personally use too. But the ones that came with this Allegro is already really good, and seems to be shielded too so using it as it is would be worth it

Thanks! 🤘 So you already have Wan'Er SG and I believe you like it yes. If you looking to scale up from that point onwards, then I would highly recommend something like SIVGA Nighthingale which is my personal favorite IEM which I use the most. And it is absolutely mind blowing smooth and airy for Rock/Metal. On top of it, you will need proper dongle to run it to the fullest potential, Allegro is one of those dongles that you can consider (not limited to that of course). HiFiMan HE400SE? I have one and I would say that it does sounding a bit metallic with the timbre but it resolves very well with details - I would say that you should check my video review on Takstar HF580 if you want something a bit more organic sounding. Cheers

Thank you 🙏❤️

Thanks. And please just Andy, don't call me uncle, I don't want to die just yet haha 😂 Between the three you mentioned, Allegro is what I would recommend for your needs

My pleasure. No that's the first time I heard about Do Slash6

Thanks. Yes I always measure on the endurance from 4.4 BAL, and that should be the reasons to get these type of dongles because you want 100% from them, using 3.5mm is like you get only 50% what you paid for. Unless of course you running super sensitive IEMs

Allergo is one of them. As for PD+, Dawn Pro and TP20, I have tested them extensively and they are on equal footing with sound quality, technicalities. Just mild differences in timbre presentation, so you can't go wrong with any one of them

@@donglemadness which one of them do you think is the best to drive HBB PR2?

Yes. Allergo is more analog than AP7

​@@donglemadness👍

Thanks. Q15 is not a dongle, It has battery and runs BT too. #donglemadness is reserved for portable DAC/Amps that are dependent on host power to operate. Widest staging? DC04Pro, Cayin RU7, L&P W4 among some of them, there are more but those are on top of my head now

@@donglemadness thank you mr andy for you recommendation & your explanation 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks. It will take some time before I can get PD5 so no promise when, but I will have one eventually

I'm using Colorfly M1P with mostly magnetic planars and like it a lot, if it helps you.

The PD5 is using the same configuration as other dongles which sound more like hi-fi sound. I think it will be another ak4493 that will not sound with the characteristics of the AKM chips

@@Saturno_R1 PD5 uses the same dac as the M1P, so I am thinking of the same sound as Colorfly, but improved to the details such as technics and the weight.

@@Nordi1_0745 The same chip used in Shanling UA3 and Jcally AP90 including amplification chips. I have the impression that they use the same PCB as the ap90

The most natural sounding? I will mention some of them (and not limited to). The foremost being HIBY FC6 and Questyle M12i, the there's also Aune Yuki, EPZ TP30 and iBasso DC04Pro. And of course this Allegro too

@@donglemadness Thanks!! Which of these do you prefer?

All three of them are already transparent and realistic with instrument tonality, they are all tuned to be neutral. The differences, DC04Pro has a bit more of air to the transients and Allegro offer denser tone, Space is somewhere in between those two. They all are already very good performing dongles

For you 71 sounds dirty? to my own experience, dual DAC dongles can be noisy as well. But as far as I can tell, this Allegro like many other current releases are super clean with black background even with highly sensitive partners

Both are equally rated, get the one which you can get the best price deal

@@donglemadness both are come with same price in india . 😅😅

UAPP is not mandatory, dongles can work directly when attached to your Android phones. But you use UAPP to get Bitperfect USB Exclusive access

@donglemadness thanks.. another question. I have several dongles... but i like the sound of the tempotec bhdpro. How come when i use deezer the dongle does not light up for flac output?

Theres no tidal in our country only spotify and deezer but they almost sound the same.

Single DAC only

Etymotic are outright flat, especially ER4 series or SR/SE series. So, if you want to determine the timbre nature of the sources, you use Etymotic to hear the differences. In this example, my ER2XR (DD) is a bit more analog/less metallic sounding than the 4 series (BA), but it is transparent to reveal the nature of the sources, you connect ER2XR to a digital sounding DAC/Amp, you get digital sounding output, you connect to an analog sounding DAC/Amp, you get analog sounding output - that's the beauty of Etys

Allegro offers richer sound texture on top of being more analog sounding, however DAWN Pro is more open and wider with soundstage

@@donglemadnessI like acoustic sounds more than fully electronic ... and probably need more power with my near future headphones .. What would suit me between allegro,dawn pro and ds2

@@sumanthparakala2005 If you can stretch it to $110, then EPZ TP50 is what I will recommend, a dongle I use personally and superior than DS2, Allegro or DS2. Otherwise, all three of them are on equal footing with sound/power

Get something else, Dawn Pro is practically on equal level to SHIO with sound quality and power

@@donglemadness what would you suggest under for musical and engaging?

For something more musical and engaging, you should try EPZ TP30 the gold bar dongle

No. This Allegro is better tuned and more natural soundin than Shanling UA1s

Maybe just shanling have bad cable?@@donglemadness
