iFi Audio GO Bar Kensei Headphone Amp DAC
Not all albums are HiRes on Apple Music. Check the album or song label, it should be marked as Lossless which is 44.1, HiRes Lossless or Dolby for Spatial Audio. You will also need to change some settings in Music for it to download on the highest resolution. Also not all the songs in the...- DW10

Shanling UA4 - Portable USB DAC/AMP with Newest ESS DAC, Full screen and Hardware Buttons
That is my point, why it is advertised as a full MQA decoder on Amazon when it is not. Wonder how Fiio did it for the Q3-MQA and the BTR15. The UA4 is just a MQA Renderer, you guys need to change the description, it is not accurate.- DW10

Shanling UA4 - Portable USB DAC/AMP with Newest ESS DAC, Full screen and Hardware Buttons
I purchased the UA4 recently from Amazon as the description says it is a FULL MQA decoder. It turns out it is not. Too expensive for not being a MQA decoder. My Fiio Q3 MQA and BTR15 are doing full decoding from Foobar2000 (exclusive) output, but when I hook up the UA4 it stays in PCM...- DW10

Sony NW-A40 Series NW-A45/A46/A47
Is @MrWalkman still around in 2024? I am using one of the modified firmware for the NW-A45 but having a lot of issues with Fiio BTR15 and UAC 2.0. It only works with Fiio BTR15 in UAC 1.0 mode, but the sound is horrible, lots of crackles and pops.- DW10

[FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
Finally, I found the UAC settings on the menu. Now it works, sort of....music now has crackle and pops, a song that is 192Khz/24bit shows as PCM 96K, but sounds horrible. Firmware is v3.5- DW10

[FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
Has anyone been able to use the BTR15 connected as USB DAC to a Sony Walkman NW-A45? Every time I connect it shows PCM 44.1K and then the screen switches back to the Phone Mode screen. Which mode should I use for Sony Players, PC Mode or Phone Mode? The Walkman works fine with a FIIO Q3-MQA...- DW10

Sony NW-A40 Series NW-A45/A46/A47
I purchased one 3 months ago at Amazon.com to hook up a FIIO Q3 MQA to my NW-A45. But it looks like there are no local US sellers anymore. All sellers are from Japan and price is double of what I pay for:WMC-NWH10- DW10

That one is a tricky one. Check that the Album names artist name matches exactly among all discs. I think case sensitivity, extra space or comma or only one letter in different case does that. For example, if you have a title in one disc as The Wall Disc 1 and The Wall Disc 2, they will show...- DW10

Same thing happened to me, and it was really frustrating. Mine was formatted in a Fiio X3 2nd gen. Finally someone in this thread pointed me to this tool: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ It fixed it and my card started working on the A45. Hope this help.- DW10

Yes , it is weird. As when it is plugged in volume up and down buttons don”t work. But now I enjoy more listening with my WH1000XM2 than wired. Sony has done a good job with LDAC.- DW10

I don’t see a difference with other OS. Mount the SD card and either use vi or a bash command to create an empty m3u file.- DW10

When I do it externally I use foobar 2000 to create my playlists as copy and pasting is tedious as I have to find the nested folders structure to find the song I want. On foobar I just drag and drop the song to the playlist. The process of finding the song and adding it to the playlist one by...- DW10
