Smartphones typically have a restricted output current for OTG devices. Furthermore, smartphones yield a lot of internal interference, so powering from them isn’t the most ideal.
With the CB19C, dongles can power from a clean source, such as a power bank, instead of your smartphone. Your DAC dongle gets quality power with minimal interference with the CB19C while simultaneously preserving the battery on your smartphone, achieving optimal performance from both your phone and the dongle.
I got an iBasso Nunchaku that worked fine with my computer, but it would not power on with my Android phone or Hiby R4. Tried every USB C that I had and nothing worked. Got an iBasso CB19C power splitter cable from Bloom Audio and it was the perfect solution and worked flawlessly. My only wish is that the cables were a bit longer. The length makes it a little tight with a power bank, R4 and the Nunchaku. A simple solution to a big problem!
This cable not only works great, but Bloom has the best prices on this cable. In fact, this was my "gateway drug" to finally up listen to friends and order from Bloom Audio. Being disabled, I don't have a lot of cash to spare, so a stateside business with great customer service really helps.
Is there a sixth star for Bloom's service ???
I thought it didn’t work at first but it was user error. It works perfectly with my Ibasso DC04 ultra. Doesn’t siphon my hiby r4 battery anymore.
