Agree with other posters that it depends on what you are trying to use the Qudelix 5K for. Qudelix 5K has always been about portability and Bluetooth for me as well. My main desktop DAC/amp is the RME ADI-2 and I am very happy with it (I use some EQ for my Aeon 2 Noire but dont need 10 or 20...

You need to double check what model you have. Sounds like you have the RME ADI-2 DAC FS, not the RME ADI-2 FS. They are different products. A quick internet search of the two models in your search engine of choice should make that pretty clear.

Never had the Fiio so can't really comment there but I am sure if you search the thread you will find someone who tried it. I recall some people here were using the BT-W5. Looking at the Fiio, it looks like it has LDAC vs. aptX adaptive on the BT-W5 so I guess it depends on what codecs you want...

The newer Creative dongles have apps for the computer. I have the BT-W3 (no app) and BT-W4 (use Windows app), both of which work great. Looks like the newer BT-W5 has the Windows/Mac app as well. https://us.creative.com/p/speakers/creative-bt-w5

You can still use multipoint over LDAC with two devices, just not the three device multipoint. Screenshot from app is attached. I just tested using a Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 and Puxel 7 Pro. Multipoint works flawlessly. Starting music on Pixel stopped music on Fold 5 and vice versa. I...

I have a Px7 S2 and Px8. I do have a Pixel 7 Pro (aptX HD) that I use primarily for music (used to be my camera too until Google messed up the the video camera with an update). I also have the Creative BT-W3 and BT-W4 dongles that I don't bother using anymore and a LG V60 that is capable of...

Very cool. Definitely agree with you there...much more comfortable to leave the watch at home and just use earbuds. I also find myself wearing "regular watches" more these days unless I know I have meetings where we have cell phone bans. Find myself wearing my Samsung watch more at home now...

Do you use a Garmin watch? Wish I could do that with my Samsung Watch (i.e. pass heart rate data from watch to head unit). Would be interested if the new Senn sports buds could connect to a Garmin 1030 Plus and be used as a heart rate monitor with my Garmin. Will need to look into this when I...

I bought a set of replacement perforated pads last August/September to replace the original pads on my Noire that I had since Dec 2020 and they didn't seem that different to me. Seems to be a little more adhesive but I noticed the foam starting to bulge out the sides last week so I did push the...

Not quite but it does mute the earbuds if you turn on that option (without pausing the app that is playing music). Screenshot from the app attached. I still just pull the earbuds out of my ears if I want to talk to someone or listen to something else important, whether it is with Technics...

I also have the Technics AZ80, Senn MTW3 and Jabra Elite 10s. Never tried the MTW4 but the AZ80 and MTW3 are similar in terms of comfort/fit to me and the Elite 10s are noticeably more comfortable for me as well. I can use the Elite 10 for hours and have even run out of battery after using...

Where are you located that you have a six year warranty? We only get two years here in the US (my warranty ends this November) and, when I had to return my first pair for the battery issue, they made me jump through all sorts of hoops and did not make it easy to get them to pay for shipping.

I ordered mine in June 2020 and never saw the point of getting a case for this. Still use the Qudelix 5K all the time when commuting or I want to listen to my IEMs when out and about. A case would just make it bigger and heavier and, in my opinion, is just not necessary for the Qudelix 5K. I...

I have my RME ADI-2 DAC FS feeding a NAD M10 V2 via RCA and do something similar but use -4.5 db (fixed) with Auto Ref ON. Has been working fine for me. I used the attached chart to set the volume on my RME ADI-2 and I haven't had any issues. I forget where I found this sp I can't give proper...

Assuming you have the latest firmware, the EQ is saved on the TW2 adapters themselves, not in the app, which is why it doesn't work wired. This means your EQ will still be applied even if you dont open the app or if you pair the TW2 with a device that doesnt even have the app installed. Also...
