Yeah I know this, but this isn't my concern. Perhaps you quoted the wrong person. :) Besides, I tried to be broad with my answer since not everyone lives in the USA. Effectively, streaming is the same as downloading for this use case.

Well worst case is to sign up for the plan, test for a day or so, then check your data cap usage. If it doesn't align then you are ok. You can change plans all the time, it's the duration that may matter. Check the prepaid plans too if that is possible. Those too should have the ability to...

Why would UAPP have anything to do with that? They aren't proxy in the stream somehow. You are getting it directly from Google.

You should check the list of services from the plan you intend to subscribe to. All plans may not be equal.

In my experience, what's makes one DAC better than another is the simple fact that it sounds better. Energy draw, and stronger amps have nothing to do with it.

Not from my experience.

Dont believe this false reasoning. Gasket material could have been used inside the back cover. I can't tell you how many gadgets I've had over the years that was both waterproof and had removable batteries. I even have a portable flashlight that you can take a dive with, and it takes AA batteries.

    Curious. Can't you adjust the same setting in the foobar2000 music app for Android? I believe I saw this setting present.

Thanks. I was under the initial impression that it would provide some kind of iPod like functionality through the USB cable.

@JamesFiiO @FiiO-Shadow   What is the In Vehicle mode of the X5 3rd gen exactly, and how does this "special" accessory make it work?   Will the X5 plug directly into my car's USB port?   What functionality can I expect in this mode?   What won't I have when using In Vehicle?   Thanks

Quote:     I just wanted to comment on this old thread as I have recently bought the N8 AND 808 PureView (don't judge me). :)   The QuasarMX music player that I just bought ($4.99) plays FLAC. Also has parametric EQ along with other goodies. Perhaps FLAC support wasn't there when...
