Excellent sound in this price range, we can clearly observe a difference in sound. If you are looking for dongle you must try these

I won't say this is absolutely the best dongle under 2000, but I have no issue stating it's the best dongle under 5000 if you pair it with the right sources (judging by price to performance ratio). Sounds glorious with some IEMs, but muddy and boxy with others. Still a 5 star performer given it's price bracket.

this is my first dac/doble but definitely improvement over poco f1's stock sound . Sounds very neutral and open ,output level is also very good. Not heavy on bass if that is important to you.

I'm using this dongle with moondrop aria, hifiman re400 along with oppo A52 mobile and set EQ mode to dance. Excellent performance for both critical listening and casual listening. I think no one needs more than this dongle. Well recommending to all. Great product in less budget.
