- I have only had this device for a few days and have yet to take it through it’s paces with my tougher to drive headphones. So far, I’ve logged a lot of time on the Westone W80. These IEMs are really efficient and sound surprising acceptable connected to the basic iPhone DAC cable; they are absolutely stunning running through the X2.The design is simple, smaller than a fountain pen and built rock solid.I’ll spare you the audiophile jargon and simply say if you listen to Hi-Res audio through an iOS device you cannot go wrong with the Maktar Spectra X2.While the X2 is nearly perfect, my only grip is that a device with this form factor and at this price point should really have an app to dial in the EQ.That said, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.EDIT: I tried this device with my HD 650. These headphones are notoriously power hungry. While the sound was clean there just wasn’t enough power to drive them. If you are expecting to use the X2 to push 300Ω, you are going to have a bad time.The description says as much. Not the reason I purchased this. My 5 star rating still applies.EDIT 2: A month in, I love this more than ever. I bought a right angle lightning adapter as I was afraid the attached cable may eventually fray and wear out. There was no evidence that this was the case but it was giving me anxiety.I’ve output the X2 to my primary desktop headphone amp. Pure audible bliss with the HD 650.My greatest fear now is that Apple will replace the lightning port on their phones.
- I would much rather have the power of the Spectra X than the great soundstage of the X2. Disappointed they reduced the power by a lot. Maybe it has to do with apples Mfi program but so not sure. All I know is that i would rather hook the X to a stupid apple camera adapter and then hook it to my iphone than to have this weak sound come out. The spectra X actually feels like a I have a mini amplifier with me. Not as convenient but its also $50 cheaper now.The spectra x is also more versatile since its USB instead of lightning.X2= great soundstage, weaker soundX= more power, versatility, cheaper...
- Works as advertised. Allows my iPhone to play at higher resolution than possible with the normal lightning to mini adapters. Sound profile and soundstage are noticeably improved (depending on quality of recorded music). Only downside is the controls on my headphones don’t seem to operate when plugged into this adapter. Not really a big deal for me but thought I should mention it.
- Worked great with normal headphones. For headphones that require an amp to use, this may not be the best option. But if you want to skip the Bluetooth compression and have a external DAC it’s great! Sound did have a little warmth coming from it I didn’t have on the iPhone via Bluetooth. Adapter itself is small and portable also!
- I just don\'t find it added to the sound. Seemed no different than the standard DAC in my phone.
- As someone with high end gear: TA-ZH1ES ($2000), Sony Z1r ($1500), this device surprised me with it\'s quality.Nice bass and solid build quality. I don\'t have any lossless media on my iphone 8 plus, but even youtube sounds great.
- Great product!
