Thanks for the reply. Very disappointing and sounds like an android sampling issue. Do you think it would be better to use another streaming service such as quobuz or tidal for hires files?

Do you know how I could fix the problem on my device? Could the app be reading 16bit but it is actually playing at 24?

I need some help. I just downloaded Amazon music to my dx160 and it won't play the ultra hd tracks. It only plays in hd. Will the dx160 support the 24bit tracks or is there an issue with my player. Not sure if I should just by an external dac instead for my Samsung phone, so may bugs with the...

Has anyone listened to tidal offline on the dx 160. Does it go through Androids resampling?

Has anyone used tidal offline with the dx160. Does it utilise the internal DAC or android for processing. Is there much difference between the sound quality of a FLAC file through mango player or tidal offline. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the detailed reply. I appreciate the time you have taken for the in depth comparison. Considering they have a very similar sound signature I might stick with the v30. I do like the sound signature and it pairs well with my fh7. It will also save me 600 AUD. Did you use the high...

Thanks for the reply. Did you notice much when comparing sound quality? The v30 sounds great with high impedance mode activated, I am just looking to see if the dx160 would be much of an improvement. I am also a little tired to having an extension cable alm the time to activate the high...

Has anyone compared the dx 160 to the Lg v30. I am looking to upgrade and wondering if it worth the cost. I have read some great reviews about the dx160 and looking at matching it with my fiio fh7

Thanks for the reply. Were you listening through the high impedance mode on the v30?

Hi guys I am looking at updating my source and thinking of replacing my v30 with the ibasso dx160. I found the sound of the v30 exceptional but looking for a little bit more. Has anyone listened to the dx160, do you think the upgrade would be worth the cost? I listen to FLAC files and use fiio...

Hi guys, Has anyone connected an external amp to this unit. I was wondering if an amp would work without a dedicated line out?

Thanks for the reply. That is awesome they work with metal. I was wondering if you eq for a better sound? I will be using them with fiio x3ii and a5 amp. Looks like I might need to buy a pair. Thanks again

Can anyone comment on how the isine 20 via android sound with listening to heavy metal music? Looking to buy a pair.

Hi guys, Has anyone listened to the isine 20 via android without the cypher cable. I was wondering if the iem had the attack and qualities to match heavy metal. If not, any recommendations for a iem in the similar price bracket . I currently had the rha T20i with fiio x3ii and e12a amp. Thanks

Hi guys, Lots of great advice for ios cables! Can anyone recommend a cheap micro use b to micro use b otg cable I can use for my android phone. I live in Australia so must ship overseas. Is it true I need an otg cable to utilise Uapp between android and Q5? Thanks for your help

Hi guys, I was wondering what the pros and cons are of having a smartphone and DAC vs a dap? Also, would anyone have a comparison of the q5 vs the cayin N5ii in terms of sound quality?

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone could compare the N5ii against the FiioQ5 DAC. I have read the N5ii is better than the X5iii in terms of sound quality and build but I was wondering how it stacks up against the Q5. Does the Q5 when paired with an android smartphone sound the same as the...

Hey man, I have a pm3 and looking at a new Dap. Either fiio x5 gen 3 or the cayin, how do you find the pairing? Do you run an amp?

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at that dap but I read people were having trouble with broken headphone sockets and poor battery life. Have you experienced such issues?

Hey guys, Given all the issues with the Ui and firmware updates, if you had the option to purchase another DAC for the second price, which would you choose. Just curious as I am trying to decide if I should purchase the Fiio or not?

Thanks for the reply, I might just keep ripping cds to Flac and purchase the fiio x5 3 to keep the superior sound quality in lieu of tidal. It would have been great to use the program but it seems tricky to set up with a few bugs to sort out.

Thanks for the reply! Thanks for clarifying that for me. I thought I read somewhere in this thread that android phones change the sample rates before sending it to an external DAC. Does the dragonfly red have an amp as well or is it only a DAC. I would like to buy a fiio x5 gen3 but I have...

Hey guys looking for some advice. I am currently running a FIIO X3 gen 2 with an A5 amp and oppo PM3 (All FLAC files). Love the sound but looking to purchase tidal to expand my library. I was wondering if I should run it through my smart phone (SONY Z5) with an oppo ha2se amp, or buy a DAP for...
