Yeah I bet it will sound terrible on my macbook air.

Actually with a macbook it shouldn’t be too bad tbh. The macs have pretty decent onboard audio

I hope this is the case. I can’t actually use my iems on my laptop because of some ‘static’ noise. But that’s most probably due to the high sensitivity of the iems.

Which iems are they? And did the hiss get louder or quieter based off of the volume, or just remain constant?
The KZ ZSX. Yeah just checked they get louder. It’s like a distortion in the sound. Not fun. I bet a DAC would fix that right?
Hmm, it sounds more like an amp issue but the dac might be at fault possibly. I think it would just come down to the iem being more sensitive imo
Well i guess when i get the fiio, I’ll let you know.
Sure thing, the 6xx should be fine off a laptop or phone for now, but it will really open up with a proper amp

Oh boy lol, that guy is a bit mental, really take everything he does with a grain of salt. Don’t know what’s going on over there, I don’t know a single person who has experience would agree with some of the stuff he says in that video

Yeah out of all the reviewers I have bumped into reading or watching reviews of Oluv is by far my least favorite I don’t learn or absorb anything with his shit

Sorry to keep bugging you xD But I think maybe the reason of this distortion is because the kz has a microphone jack?? If that is the case, I could get away without buying a dac, and just get the magni heresy as you suggested.
Edit: Yeah I just tried adding one of those audio splitters to see if it was the wire. Music plays fine, no distortion, even at increasing volume. Advise me @M0N

Hmmm didn’t think about that being the case, glad you figured it out lol. If you wanted to fix that cheap, you could just grab a wire without a mic for cheap on Amazon.

Lol you forgot to answer what i was really looking for haha no worries. I was asking you if its worth getting a fiio k5 pro or should i just get an amp only since the macbook air onboard dac should be decent? Or should i do things properly and get the dac amp?
Yeah for the iems, i’ll probably get tripowin.

Lol sorry about that. I would actually say go ahead and get the heresy, as imo it’s a better amp than the k5 pro, and also down the line you can grab a stand alone dac once you have the funds, a very solid option imo

Hahah no worries. I knew you would say something like that, kinda had to confirm though. I saw somewhere that you were saying the heresy was better than k5 pro. Now it’s confirmed lol. Should I dare ask what dac to use though? XD
Something like a topping d10 or smsl m100 is a good choice imo
