I have kingston’s hyperx ii and this headphone’s dongle provides better sound than apple’s dongle, also motherboard sounds better than apple’s dongle too.

In this situation does that mean hyperx ii’s dongle has better dac than apple’s ?

I was thinking buying fiio’s K3 but im feeling like that wont provide any better dac too.

My ears are very sensitive and i play with equalizers often.

    Assuming you’re hearing something real, I’m guessing the mobo and included dongle have higher output impedance, which will tend to give you a bit of a bass boost with dynamic driver headphones. Most dedicated headphone gear will be closer to the Apple dongle in that respect.
