    Tight 16 vs. Sloppy 24 bit

    I found this article tremendously helpful in understanding the science, history, and development of sample rates: https://sonicscoop.com/2016/02/19/the-science-of-sample-rates-when-higher-is-better-and-when-it-isnt/ Also, coming from a pro audio vs. audiophile background gives me a solid...

    FiiO Q5, Flagship DAC/Amp, an Dual DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial/Line in, share the same amp module with X7.

    Hey Fiio! Just stumbled on this thread... I picked up the Q5 the other week on a whim, as I needed to re-tool my mobile sound setup. I have to say, I really love this unit. I hadn't done a lot of research on the unit beforehand, but it's turning out to be a real Swiss-army knife for me...

    I'm a total creeper around here and have been for years, but this statement made me laugh out loud enough to prompt a reply. USB is passing a digital signal to the DAC. There is no appreciable sonic difference between USB cables. Any difference heard is placebo.

    For curiosity's sake, if it's true 4-way, then which drivers are doubled up and which remain single?

    Ah. I had read the phrase "... plus, three separate acoustically tuned sound channels allow us to keep frequencies separate and balanced until they blend naturally in your ear" on the UE website to mean that it was a 3-way crossover.
