thanks for this, I hope a future firmware will allow the other units to save settings

Apologies if asked already, is there a way to control gain/digital filters via Macbook? Specifically for DC03 Pro, and I guess DC06 Pro, DC Elite

I've been using the M7 since 2019 and haven't been tempted to upgrade yet! I normally make sure whatever my purchase is to be able to last 5 years in terms of improvements of quality within the price range. I will always advise changing the Sony cable and the ear tips. I'm not yet a huge cable...

Just wondering about the KB9P and not sure if its been answered: what BT codec and bit depth/resolution is it set at out of the box?

Yeah I was able to force AptX Classic previously on an older Macbook but the change in sound quality from even that to AAC was noticeable for both my devices—both devices being the iFi Zen Blue and the Shanling UP5. Thanks for the tip, I guess I'll have to skip the KB9P or find a friend first...

New to this thread and honestly wasn't expecting I'd be looking for a device like this (or that they already existed). Finally picked up a new laptop and chose the MB Air but unfortunately learned that the last two OS versions basically castrated any way to force AptX output. I gave AAC a shot...

They have completely different sound signatures from the last time I tried both side by side. The M7 is a lot closer to neutral. The Z1R objectively has superior, detail retrieval, soundstage size, imaging, and bass punch. However, I did not like its lower midrange. I would not say it has a suck...

I think I remember what you mean by a grainy aspect to the B2 sound. I believe I was still using the Sony hybrids at that time and there was something slightly off with the timbre with the B2 despite what I found to be better clarity in the upper midrange over the M7! It's actually the lower mid...

I'm still on my M7 after 2 years and I haven't felt the urge to upgrade yet! I've recently picked up Shanling UP5 which pushes the soundstaging and spacing even further as well as adding some sparkle and clarity to the upper mids as well as tightening the the bass. I'm currently just saving for...

May I ask if this comparison was done both in balanced or both on single ended!

Might have been mentioned already but any impressions on SE vs balanced output on the UP5 for more efficient IEMs? I read the change is significant for the BTR5 but I'm wondering if it's the same for the UP5.

Would you happen to have done DAC line out comparisons between the R6 2020 and the iDSD? How about with IEMs? :)

@Sebastien Chiu @iFi audio may I ask what the official recommendation/solution is for connecting the Diablo to an unbalanced headphone or speaker amplifier? Is there no issue connecting directly 4.4mm to RCA or is some kind of transformer necessary?

so balanced 4.4mm -> balanced XLR -> XLR to RCA, is that correct? Do you think having a 4.4mm to RCA made would work the same way?

Not sure if this already has been discussed but what is the solution for line out to RCA/unbalanced?
