Alright I need some help here, I purchased this DAC, got it from a member here, however one of the first observations is that this dongle is insanely sensitive to the usb wire cross talk, as a result I had to pull out a special short usb c to c cable that is normally used for an external nvme drive and thunderbolt. That lowered the cross talk, however it still does this sort of sound at the end of a played audio file that I would describe as a sort of static build up that starts slow and starts to crackle fast and briefly. I dont know what this is about, is that the HDR? NOS? A filter? Changing a few of them back and forth didnt seem to stop that from occurring, so I am not sure.
Going back and forth between the Hiby and my computers native sound, the main difference is that while the Hiby is certainly louder which is a plus, however the FC6 is bass shy in nature, which for my headphones doesnt work to well, those being the Shure SRH1440. These headphones are particularly renown for detail, and when it comes down to it, aside from the Hiby being a little bass shy, along with some form or another of cross talk static, which I am not sure whats going on in this particular case, I cannot tell the difference as far as audio quality goes to be totally honest.
Would upgrading to the latest firmware do anything in the way of the cross talk static, or audio quality? Or what am I getting with that?
