I have to begin this review by thanking The Audio Store. Sorry Pritam that it took me so long to post this!
So, to a random browser in search of a good portable DAC/AMP wondering why I am thanking the store, its because they let me very patiently test multitude of DAC/AMPs for over two hours as I sat and listened to the same songs over and over trying to figure out which units were more to my taste. Afterwards, I ended up picking this one which had been suggested to me earlier as the better one to go with my Blessing 2 IEMs in the first place.
So, are they worth it? That is a big yes. This, added with the 4.4mm line T cable I got on the day, made me feel like my ears had been opened twice over in a single day. Truly, I was deaf before.
If you have good IEMs, I strongly recommend you get a DAC/AMP that fits your budget. Preferably, go visit The Audio Store, try different makes out, get their recommendation, listen with you own ears and make your choice. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you for the great review of the JCALLY AP98 Portable DAC Dongle & Amp! We're glad to hear that it was helpful in helping you to make a decision about which DAC/AMP to purchase.

Increased the volume as well as clarity of audio.
Thanks to the audio store for a quick delivery
This was my first experience with The Audiostore and it was welcoming. Happy with the service provided and customised suggestions as per need. Looking forward to buy next one. Thanks.
Awesome work
Fantastic easy to use dongel dac by Shanling. Build quality is also 👌. For a budget music lover this is a value for money. TAS keep providing such affordable quality product to us always...👍
Sparkling music, enhance volume and gives extra wide sound instrument but some time later connection gone if audio is not play
The CD player works as advertised. The single ended headphone jack has decent output, able to drive IEMs at a loud volume level. The coaxial output also works with a 3.5mm male to coaxial cable hooked to a pre-amp. Sound signature is unolocured in the territory of neutral to slightly bright neutral and corresponds well with recording and mastering of records. Worth the money imo.
If my current HiBy R6 III (Gen 3, ESS) is compared to driving a BMW, the R6Pro MAX is a Rolls Royce.
It is easy, smooth, and suave. It doesn’t make a big deal of representing a soundstage that’s exactly studio-like. Natural, not heavy on any particular frequency (do not expect heart thumping bass) and extremely coherent. It’s like you’re sitting in front of the artists themselves, in a studio, with a performance made just for you alone. Each frequency - the lows, mids, highs and everything else in between - are effortlessly detailed and precise.
All IEMs I have tried with it, i.e. the 64 Audio Volür, Symphonium Meteor, Penon Quattro and Kiwi Ears Quintet are driven best at Low or Middle Gain, with me personally finding that High Gain makes it all muddy. I am yet to try it with my HiFiMan Ananda Planar headphones, and will update this review as the journey with this masterpiece of a device continues. Rarely do I find myself being fondly attached to any device so quickly. It may be safe to say the R6Pro MAX does have something special. Only time will tell.
Lastly, the design is phenomenal and classy. The weight of the unit is evenly balanced and not top-heavy, making it very easy to handle in spite of its 500 gramme weight.
My only gripe, because I just HAVE to find one is that the case provided is quite impractical as the device tends to slide out from the top opening, and it interferes with the UI gestures. On the flip side, the quality of the case is top-notch making the device feel extremely premium with its carbon fiber-like finish.
Kudos to HiBy. Clearly a lot of effort and thought has been put into introducing something like this. We may be looking at a potential market game-changer.
(All IEMs have been tested with the OE 2DualCPS Silver Upgrade Cable)
Superb Audio quality, Enhance the sound separation for my moondrop chu 2. i enjoyed a lot. Built quality also so good. Best Budget DAC recommended.
Bought the KZ Castor Pro from Audiostore, and I must say, I am extremely happy with my purchase. At first, I was a bit hesitant to order from them, but they completely surprised me with their service.
The delivery was super fast—much quicker than I expected! I couldn't believe how quickly the IEMs reached me, which made the entire shopping experience even more satisfying.
The product AUDIOCULAR D07 is a phenomenal DAC & Amp. It is suitable for all kinds of wired earphones. The output impedance of this DAC is sufficient for inexpensive as well as Expensive earphones. Overall I satisfied very much with this product. Thank you.
I really liked Moondrop Chu II DSP, which was my first IEM. I felt like I needed some more bass. This is perfect. Sounds exactly same as Chu II and with more bass. Shipping and delivery was also very fast. Got it delivered in 3 days. Good delivery and good product.
Sharp & Crystal clear audio🤩
For the price you can't get better value when comparing with TOTL iem's from other manufacturers, regardless of driver technology and implementation. The bone conduction driver works, which is always a plus.
