Reply to comment by Puzzleheaded-Pen4413 in From KZ to S8: impressions by mmry404

Does that HiBy dongle have an app with volume control? Been looking into balanced dongles today, and somehow it seems like a rare feature, though I find it to be essential, as android's own volume control is not granular enough. My iBasso has that and it's a must IMO

Good point!

It has a 30 step volume control on the dongle itself (look at the 3rd picture on their website: https://store.hiby.com/products/hiby-fc4).

Android volume control sucks, i had the issue when I connect a Bluetooth speaker which volume control buttons control the phones volume control. Can never find the right level 🤣

Will you please let me know about your impressions when your hiby arrives? I liked the fc5 model, it only has 4.4 balanced output and is a bit smaller than the fc4, though a bit more expensive, probably cause of glass

Sure thing, even though I just started with this audio-hobby. So don't expect a super detailed experience report (but will do my best of course!)
