Could be - let's see how Moondrop responds. There should be a status bar or similar at the top of the screen showing the bit depth and sampling rate to ensure we are achieving bit perfect hi-res playback. All decent DAPs have this feature. Also, I think the level of noise on the 3.5mm output...

@MOONDROP - please confirm this is true?

If you toggle this setting then it displays the same sample rate as the file. However, Davy's further comments are as follows: "Please note that the Moondrop probably won't play in HiRes mode. If it plays when enabling the HiRes mode, it does not automatically mean it actually uses a HiRes...

Thanks - I've messaged Davy from USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO with the MIAD01 config files and he wrote back saying that there is No Hires Direct mode. So I assume there is some resampling happening @MOONDROP ? On the more positive side, a new firmware has just been released which includes a (very...

Yes, please establish a database of users who can test the beta firmware. This is an amazing device which needs a little refinement in the user experience.

I will test it - please outline the process.

By incompatibility do you mean it's not working properly in some way or just not working at all? I'm comparing the MIAD01 to my LG V50 and Sony XPeria 10 V. Upon installing UAPP on all three devices (I've done a clean install for the purposes of this test): LG V50: UAPP detects the hi-res...

I'm testing my unit now. It's very impressive. I'll post a detailed commentary/review soon. In the meantime, if there are any questions or audio scenarios people want me to test please list them here and I will do my best to reply.

What is an emby server?

OK will do - I notice sometimes UAPP doesn't always detect a hi-res dac when it is advertised by the phone manufacturer. For example, on my Sony Xperia 10 V although the phone is advertised as having hi-res, UAPP doesn't detect it at all. Is there any other way of knowing for certain?

Do you guys mean using UAPP with the internal dac/amp or with an external dongle/DAP/DAC? Just checking so I know what variations to test for y'all 👍

The question is what other cans will receive the new drivers. T60RP has always been my favourite. I'm guessing there's going to be another edition out soon!

$399 It is already sold out....

Sony XPERIA 10 V is my current phone and I definitely find the 3.5mm jack has better sound than the LDAC Bluetooth, however neither sound is even close to my old LG V50 and Hisense A7 CC phones (gathering dust). Then, comparing all of them to DAPs like Fiio M15s / HIBY R8 I find it still worth...

Spot on - this is why I ordered it immediately, what is there to lose when we are typically paying 3x this price for the latest Samsung or Apple overpriced junk? If nothing else, this device will push the larger phone companies to include more information about their headphone outputs on the...

No brainer. Finally! Ordered - impressions forthcoming asap. 👍

Do you have a link to the drivers? Cheers!

I find it's great for all use cases except on a plane. It lacks the isolation required to block out all the engine noise. So if you don't travel on planes a whole lot then the passive isolation should be good enough.

Why not just watch the concert on the DAP?

Thanks all! @Kyonnie which epoxy resin do you use and how do you dispense it in very small amounts? I've used superglue with limited success - the flow from the tube is very quick and it seems to dry even faster than it flows, leaving a big mess!

Thanks mate. This is very helpful. For some reason the links don't seem to be working - it just lands at the Ali Express home page? Also do the sockets need to be glued in? If so, what is the best glue to use?

I just lay them flat across a (long) table. But I agree, your method is good!

Anyone know of 14.8mm shells that come with MMCX connectors, but have the leads already soldered? Plenty of 15.4mm ones around the place but I cannot find any 14.8mm shells with pre-soldered leads!

I've not found this to be the case with SMABAT - I've ranked 17 sets of earbuds now and whilst they aren't the best, they are far from the worst. (Just in defense of SMABAT here as I feel they do a lot to push the boundaries for earbud fans!). They probably are tuned for different tastes. Lun...

Anyone have a link to the Hiegi foams?
