I will have a listen to FiiO KA17 next month though. Have a feeling about it.- AudioBomb

That's not the case. I found that the purple filter is by far the one that makes it shine, like a more expensive DAC. This is the less sharp one, that renders treble, for example, with more subtlety and smoothness. It's very pleasant, not sharp at all in my opinion and that makes it sound more...- AudioBomb

If it's sound quality that matters to you the most, the only two dongles that can be closer to Plus4 performance are FiiO KA17 and iBasso DC04 Pro. And I would have to listen to them to believe it. Plus4 is not in the same league of most sub 200€ dongles, including tp50. I don't feel I lose much...- AudioBomb

That's great. Mine has an issue with "Wide Stage". It distorts completely at medium to high volumes. I don't think I would use such effect, but have to return it to the seller (local deal - used). Great to know they're available on AE, I was unable to find them. I will have to buy another one.- AudioBomb

Beyerdynamic Xelento. It's a great all rounder. Yet to find something that doesn't sound good with them. I've got Plus4 used, seller bought it from AE, just had a look at AliExpress now and can't find any. I found their website, but don't think someone out of Taiwan can buy from there, but I...- AudioBomb

So rather than iBasso DC04 Pro I've got Kuang Pai Plus4. What an upgrade! Sounds better in pretty much every aspect. Has a resolution BTR15 doesn't have and an instrument separation and imaging ahead of competition, especially in areas where the other dongles congest. Transparency among the best...- AudioBomb

The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...
Hi, I have FiiO BTR15 and if I use single ended (wired) it will not use Dual DAC, but just one, i.e., forcing me to use balanced just because of that. Does this happen with DC04 Pro?- AudioBomb

A known reviewer tested KA5 with DC04 Pro and the ibasso wins in transparency and detail, even bass is better. Has to do with the power supply implementation and the amplifier.- AudioBomb

Wondering if any of you have tried FiiO KA5 with the cirrus logic dacs. I'm probably under minor differences and just spending time and money, but would like to test both equipments side by side.- AudioBomb

Indeed. I don't like to use the expression "night and day", but there's a big diference and I know how balanced sounds like from various equipments. Anyway since you mentioned potencial amp damage, I've just ordered the 4.4mm cable.- AudioBomb
