fair, but every review of every new tech product says that. I’m not switching off iPhone anytime soon so until they implement Apple Lossless over Bluetooth or LDAC (fat chance), I think TWS is maxed out. I just still love my andros and didn’t get caught up in CA releasing like 12 new (crappy)...

The pain…

I wonder if there’s any sense in buying these CA orbits and their supposed surprisingly good soundstage when I’m very happy with my AirPods Pro and their manufactured spatial audio. Someone convince me not to waste my money! You have approx 3 hours till I click order.

can the m5 be set to automatically bluetooth to my iphone whenever i power on?

i haven't timed it, but i've gone through 2 full battery cycles over the past week or so, when in the past it would last me about 2 weeks.

does anyone have firmware 2.0.1 they could upload for me? I'm getting terrible battery drain on 2.0.2.

Thinking about replacing my ES100 with a DAP, specifically the HiBy R3. Anyone who has had both devices have any thoughts on sound quality, which they find themselves gravitating towards and why, etc?

What does “distorting” mean? I posted earlier that I’m getting some awful feedback when my plug twists. Realized yesterday I can cause same behaviour by putting a bit of pressure on the top of the face of the device. Tried cleaning but no luck.

Do you EQ your andros? I feel guilty doing it, but just love a little extra V.

i'm experiencing the distortion/static/nails on a chalkboard sound when my balanced cable plug twists. i've tried compressed air into both the 3.5 and 2.5mm jacks, and cleaned the plug itself. anyone else experienced? Any advice? also, any chance this can damage my iems? it's a loud blast...

I know this has been discussed a lot, but to date I cannot find a clear answer. If I'm running Tidal on an iPhone to a bluetooth receiver which supports AAC, is there any point in paying for Tidal Hifi? Tidal premium provides 320 kbps AAC files. Tidal HifI's FLAC's will get converted on my...

maybe you could expand on this a bit. wouldnt the bitrate of the source file dictate whether (and to what extent) it is being compressed by the applicable codec? my original point/question was essentially that. if i'm using files that, say, AAC can support...then I assume there is no benefit...

possibly a stupid question - do i need source files at a bitrate equal to/greater than LDAC's 990kbps to obtain any benefit of LDAC? like, there's no point using spotify extreme quality or the like?

cool thanks.

which type of cable is it? How's the softness/flexibility?
