Apple do make a USB C dongle...so it's not just limited to just apple devices....

Audirect Beam 2SE or Beam 3 Pro? what would you choose if budget is your top priority?

[abrahamlendechy]

I´ve been waiting for a dongle to feature the ES9281AC chip and balanced out. I too failed to understand why is the 3S cheaper than the 3Pro. On the audirect website they list the specs for both units using the same chip and dual op amps. So I can only assume the 3Pro is pricier because it was released first and targeted to a wider market, then they made a 4.4 version which they knew wouldn´t sell as much. And for the "gaming mode", this dongles should be compatible with both USB audio 1.0 and 2.0, without the need of a physical button. The Nintendo switch uses usb audio 1.0, while windows 10 uses 2.0....well, gaming mode might literally just mean being able to "game" with it on different devices lol (Shanling UA2 has a button for this, and they call it "switch mode")

So, I guess I'll just stick with my Ikko Zerda...thank you! Btw...dummy newbie question. What decent adapter should I use with an Ikko Zerda for an iPhone 12?

Well Beam 3 plus don't have clip like EarStudio ES100 mk2 and Qualdix 5k....that is a minus

Does anyone use a dongle dac with a Samsung note 9? Tried the tempotec sonata and hidizs Dh80s and both did not work. I enabled USB debugging.
