The EU digital market act and the DOJ's antitrust against Apple may finally lead to Apple to adapt other codecs like LDAC, but that's a long way to go. The Svanar is a cheaper solution for hi-res audio from iPhone with the built in R2R DAC

The new one from Moondrop is less expensive. Hifiman gear, unfortunately, has proven to be very unreliable. Moondrop isn't perfect, but it's cheaper.

Svanar's known connectivity problem is with the LDAC version. Moondrop Alice do not have R2R DAC or other DSP to achieve hi-res for iPhone.
But heck, these Chinese HiFi brands are going to lead the HiFi TWS trend

You ever look at something and get the feeling you're just paying for the fancy packaging?

I think the above user is referring to Moondrop Golden Ages rather than Alice

I can't say any bad words about the golden ages. My friend Herbert's new baby. Definitely worth three times more than the RMB499 price tag.
