Apple dongle is enough

No, Crinical is just one guy. The DAC matters.
From 50 years of being a music lover and high end HiFi guy, all of this matters.
A good DAC drives headphones better and resolves better. It is just a fact Minimum of an Audioquest Dragonfly Red, and up from there is where I recommend to begin.

That guy has almost single handedly destroyed truth in headphones. Just another grifting pos on the internet.

honestly i don't even have a lot of insight in what crinacle says, sometimes its sound critique and sometimes, like in case of the "you don't need an amp" video, i know where he is coming from, but clearly he just gets the camera rolling and starts talking.
thing is sometimes i want to give good advice myself and it hurts when somebody uses a link to a crinacle video to refute something you say.

What was the TL;DR of his video? Does the apple dongle work well enough for everything?
SiegwardZwiebelbrudi t1_iuimiqk wrote
yes, but he does mention that there are fringe cases, doesn't mention that there are loads of fringe cases though

I feel like an apple dongle with a 4 pin xlr connector would be a funny audiophile product. Ridiculous, overkill, and I want it!
