USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
I vote the S9 Pro. It doesn't add color to the sound and drives the FD7 well, as the Oppo PM3. I hardly use it now, due to battery drain, and it just doesn't sound as full as the HIP DAC 2- thepiper92

Wish there was another way, often accidentally tap the screen and change the song leaving it unlocked- thepiper92

Anyone having issues with UAPP stopping playback when screen turns off? Seems to be an issue with Android 12- thepiper92

iFi audio hip-dac 2: just the tonic for headphone fans
Exactly, so since there is no way to tell exact charge level, it cuts power before a damaging level- thepiper92

iFi audio hip-dac 2: just the tonic for headphone fans
1900 mAh makes sense, around 86% capacity. Fully draining a Lithium Ion pack damages the cells, so there is some form of voltage cutoff.- thepiper92

HIP DAC 2 issue
Going to get the same one again...hoping it doesn't have any issues. I've never had an amp/dac die like this. One of my old Fiio amps, back when the LOD cable for the iPod and iPhone was the way to go (the only time I had an Apple device), died in a similar manner after about 3 or 4 years. I'm...- thepiper92

HIP DAC 2 issue
Fiio FD7 sounds fine on my S9 Pro. Not sure I'll go back for the HIP DAC 2...pretty sad that it died in less than a month. Turns me off all iFi products to be honest. I've had other brands of amps, and never had any die this quick- thepiper92

HIP DAC 2 issue
I've been enjoying my HIP DAC a lot, and have been listening to my Fiio FD7. Today, I suddenly lost my left channel. When I don't allow it to access UAPP, all I hear is a constant tone from the left, and in UAPP, I only hear right. Unplugging the 4.4mm jack, and plugging it back it with music...- thepiper92

Are there any nicer OTG USB C cables available for the HIP DAC (HIP DAC 2 in my case, but doesn't matter)? The stock black one is so stiff.- thepiper92

Yah, I'm just lazy in the regard I gather. I manage, rely on mqa picks and such. I found an album I love, An Evening with Silk Sonic...great on my PM3, superb on the FD7. I had no idea how much better music could sound. I'm even finding songs I don't love are enjoyable, simply because it sounds good- thepiper92
