AptX adaptive and lossless are inaudible to human hearing…so that’s not a con I definitely don't agree with this... In fact it's the only way that Bluetooth gets anywhere close to directly wired. Since Samsung in their infinite wisdom dumps all the newest & best AptX codecs to try to push...

So even the regular "SBC" codec sounds good on these headphones? That's quite accompliment if that's the case.. I have some of the best wired headphones on the planet but still looking for a good pair of Bluetooth for the convenience.

Do these still sound good with "plain jane" Aptx codec...or do they need the Adaptive version that Samsung in their infinite wisdom refuses to include on their phones? They have their own solution (SSC) they think everyone's going to follow and yet no one has heard of-- so we're locked out of...

was also interested in cen. grand deluxe but something didn't feel right That something related to them is probably along lines of the product code "GLS". I think everyone's waiting to see what they C-G does with a combo device... And that just maybe where they demonstrate it. I have to check...

Yep I got great answers with several questions to Ferrum. You can tell these guys are really on the ball. As a bonus it's pretty easy to heft into your equipment rack... vs a Cen.Grand or Cayin beast.

In checking the Cen.Grand DSDAC, there were several references to this Wandla DAC having equivalent sound quality. I'm doing research-- especially via the gurus on this board-- and there's several features I really like: 1) Coming from an Oppo 205, I'm a big fan of the ESS 9038P chipset...and...

Unfortunately I won't be able to use the subwoofer because I have it tied into my preamp for regular multi-channel through my Oppo 205 (it only has one input and I'm not going to go the split signal "Y" avenue). Luckily I have the now 20 years old but absolutely classic Innovative Audio...

I wish I could hear this IP but I never felt like I could really consider it because it uses the same internals (DAC/upsampling) of my CA 752 Blu-ray player from a dozen years ago! I think I'm going with an Orchard Audio streamer device. Really impressed with their design.

My big is problem with the v60 was not the audio tuning, it was the monstrous size of the phone :-). After being used to the significantly smaller V series, it was like carrying around a tablet when I checked it out!

Where did you read that the V35 is B&O tuned? Because I've had a v30, v35, v40 and v50... So I'm pretty sure the AT&T-based v35 model was B&O tuned. Think of it as all the 6" screen models are B& O. I doubt that redditor has had all those phones. At the time I remember Meridian's page making...

Bottom line is your v35 has a B&O tuned DAC chip, the v40 and v50 have a Meridian tuned chip, and the monster v60 has a "nothing" tune chip (they kept cutting more and more audio corners as they went on). In my opinion, the earlier phones are going to sound better for audio, because they...

OK, I guess my question now is... Where are you going with the Syn outputs? Yeah I think I'm going around in circles too--the issue you're getting at is it's only going to send through any output jacks with the input source on the front panel. I just realized all I would need to do is route...

However, I would think that the record outputs would just be a stereo duplicate of whatever input you have selected. Yep...You are absolutely correct it seems--as shown by my first attachment. If it's going to work I would have to wire it up the second way (mod pic). I believe those are pre...

Can't believe I completely forgot about this new product from Schiit. Maybe some owners can help me answer a few questions about it... So I'm personally still 100% in the analog world with my rig because let's face facts...it just sounds better cause last time I checked that's how you hear...
