How old is your xDSD? Those battery problems are common when the battery has reached its end of life. I hope iFi gives you the support as to be proud for their customer support. The best batteries my devices have had have last 6 years, but the common is 3 years.

At the beginning even if I accepted, no sound was coming from my xDSD but from the phone speaker, I had installed USB Audio Player Pro so I uninstalled it. Then tried again and now Tidal crashes too when I try to play something. I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro. I even reinstalled Tidal but it is the...

2 days ago I had a strange problem with my xDSD. First, it discharged completely. I connected to an usb port to charge, some minutes later, I tried to use it, it was not recognized by all my devices, the Input led was on, the kHz led was off, no music at all. I turned on and off many times...

UAPP only make sense for USB conneciton if expecting bit perfect. Using Bluetooth from the xDSD is fine as it is and UAPP is not needed for bit perfect, use your favorite player. The best thing from the xDSD is the Bluetooth implementation, not MQA support, but well, it doesn't hurt a big...

This is a known issue here at headfi on this thread. I have posted and asked about to iFi many times. The most likely thing is that a previous version of Android had the ability, the other probably thing is that iFi know how to mess with Android to allow bit perfect with MQA signal to the xDSD...

I don't hear any difference between UAPP and Tidal, and the Tidal interface is way better. I'll give UAPP a chance if they can make it possible to use the Tidal downloaded cache, but of course, that would be to mess too much with legal rights if I'm not mistaken. The most obvious solution would...

Did not work. But thank you anyway. On my Mate 20 Pro, after enabling developer options, I get the MTP mode for USB. I had to verify repeatedly since very often turn back to "only charge". Tried uninstalling Tidal and reinstalling it, verified again MTP mode, nothing. Actually, I don't think...

I know. Maybe is asking too much as it's not an issue of the xDSD. But anyway, the video shows it's possible but not how to achieve it 100% as the steps on the video are not enough. I have the same phone used on the video. I remember you told you was going to ask to the iFi team that did the...

I haven't updated my firmware and I do get Magenta light with UAPP, but, I don't want to use UAPP, it's ugly and I cannot find it simple as Tidal's interface. Tidal is simply intuitive, so I prefer to stick with just Tidal, however, I'm giving up MQA. As for your case, I suspect is the same...

No sorry, actually my question is for the one I posted. This one: I simply cannot get it to work to see Magenta light for MQA in my Huawei Mate 20 Pro as on the video with just Android and Tidal. What is missing? I have succeeded using the third party app UAPP, but on the video is not used, so...

I remember that ifi Audio put on Youtube a video to show it is possible to get magenta light only using Tidal and nothing else. @iFi audio told here that it would ask its team how, but nothing. Any update @iFi audio ? I don't like the third app UAPP, the interface is ugly and not as simple as...

Anyone pairing this with the Sennheiser HDV 820? I know it's a cheap DAC but I was wondering if cheap is just "cheap" and more likely a SMART buy as the product just delivers for the price. If you were to get a separate Amp (Smart buy) to pair with the Topping DX7s which one would it be?

I ended buying an adapter from 4.4mm to 3.5mm TRRS. Also a 4.4mm to 4pin XLR for the same cable on my iBasso SR1 to compare and try with the other amp/dac I have, the DX7s. I share my experience: I actually don't find a great benefit from the s-balanced on the xDSD, but that is not the case...

It is common. It happened to me after buying the headphones and the balanced cable. I Sent a message from the contact form and everything was OK. After 2 days, you receive an email with a confirmation that your product has being shipped.

What do you guys think about this attenuator? Since I would use very efficient headphones and I have read that the volume control rockets to the sky, I plan on using 2 of these between my DX7s and the LP with XLR balanced cables...

Hello @Malcolm Riverside, reading your question, while I can't answer you, I take the chance to ask you about your impressions between the Liquid Platinum and Violectric V281. Are they complementary? Or the V281 would be more a do it all and the LP an extra flavour for some beats? Thank you! :)

Well. Yesterday I tried a converter for iBaso SR1 headphones with the iBasso CB15 cable that has a balanced 4.4mm plug to get the TRRS signal from the xDSD. Sound now is airier, but at the same time more metallic like and saturated (gets me memories of the ATH-50m). The difference is subtle, so...

@iFi audio after reading the last answers, I'm know wondering. If some headphones are terminated with a 4.4mm or 2.5mm balanced male plug, would using a converter to 3.5mm TRRS work properly to get a balanced sound from xDSD to the headphones?

Congratulations! BTW, could you please write some impressions comparing the Crack with the LP? Also, it would be welcome to read a little comparing the 3 amps: THX 789, Crack and LP. I have the Crack and would like to know how much difference is between the Crack and the LP. Thank you!

I've just seen the YouTube video, BTW by iFi Audio. It'll be kind by iFi to clarify how actually they managed to work on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro as I cannot make it work precisely on my Mate 20 Pro. As previously said by jsmiller58, the only way that has worked for me on Android is with UAPP and...

I won't use the preamp or sesnsitive speakers. It would be just by the final output to the headphones. As for the attenuation on the LP, my DX7s can control the volumen on the line out, but to my perception, seems the overall macro dynamics becomes weaker when comparing to the same overall...

I'm deciding between the LP or the LTA MZ2, the MZ2 it's almost triple the price of the LP and no XLR output, I cannot hear them both before buying since they both had to be imported and bought online. I've read just great things for both, seems that the endgame could be the MZ2 and even single...

Thanks for the info sahmen. That is from the balanced line or the unbalanced line? How do you like your LCD-X coming from the LP against any other nice Amp you may have?

Anyone tried low impedance cans like LCD-X or iBasso SR1 on the Liquid Platinum?

Anyone using this cable? The MMCX termination on it doesn't look compatible, but I may be wrong: https://www.mezeaudio.com/collections/accessories/products/rai-penta-silver-plated-2-5-upgrade-cable
