>never upgrading from quarks

I followed this
stereoskunk.wordpress.com/2019/01/09/continued-explorations-into-earphone-eq/

bruh, please, save your soul and just stay away from EQ forever. I never EQ anything anymore and I think I am mentally better off now.
If headphones sound shit (to you), that's because they are shit!
You will never be happy with them no matter how many hours you spend perfecting your EQ...

Tried that out and for me i couldnt tell much of a difference, weird since so many people go on about how good it is

Tell a difference compared to what? The biggest plus of that is that it removes hissing from sensitive headphones/iems like CCA CRA.

Headphone jack on my shitty android phone, sounds like my expectationx were too high if thats its main purpose

Oh, it is mostly for Android phones without a headphone jack in the first place, and hissing second.
This is to prevent audiophoolery in buying 100+$ USB-C to 3.5mm adapters when you don't have a headphone jack.
You should keep the dongle anyway, it might power higher impendence headphones better than your internal headphone jack.
Can be used for PC or Android TV too! My Android TV has a very nasty and loud hiss when I connected my CRA.

cute metal tin for that dongle/adapter
