FAQs
Q1: Will this work with my iPhone? A1: The JM20 with a Type-C connector is compatible with the iPhone 15 and later models. For older iPhones with a Lightning port, you would need a Lightning-to-Type-C adapter, but performance may vary. JCALLY offers other models with a Lightning connector for full compatibility.
Q2: Do I need to install any drivers to use this? A2: No, the JCALLY JM20 is a plug-and-play device and does not require any drivers for use on Android, Windows (10 and above), or macOS.
Q3: Can this improve the sound quality of my existing earphones? A3: Yes, by bypassing your device’s internal audio chip and using a dedicated high-performance DAC, the JM20 can provide a cleaner, more detailed, and powerful audio signal, significantly improving the sound quality of most earphones.
Q4: Will this consume a lot of my phone’s battery? A4: As an active device, the JM20 will draw power from your phone. However, the power consumption is generally low, and the CS43131 chip is known for its power efficiency.
Q5: Is it normal for the DAC to get warm during use? A5: Yes, it is normal for the DAC to become slightly warm during use, especially when driving high-impedance headphones or decoding high-resolution audio files. This is due to the chip’s power consumption and is not a cause for concern.
