Thank you for the reply. Didn’t understand the “can be heard up close”, If It means some or none attenuation.

Looking for a discreet option for the office, I found this new Fiio SnowSky WIND on-ear. I saw that it is semi-open (so it should be comfortable), and on the website that it provides some isolation. What's the difference in this regard (attenuation) compared to a open-back (like Koss PortaPro)?

At first I toughtMQA was better, but then I bought a Topping E50 and realized that my iFi Dac nano was not dealing very well with non-MQA stuff. Then, both sounded the same to me, tested in Qobuz and Tidal. I do prefer Tidal due to more underground albuns/titles that I like. Well.. If you have...

Nice, well, I don´t need balanced. I saw in specifications that the power consumption is "< 1.5W via USB power OR 5v DC", so a 5V/1A linear power supply is more than enought to power the Zen Dac v2, right?

No so much, I knew that already. Want more details of the implementation for me to make a decision, but OK. Thank you.

If I just want to use with unbalanced outputs and easy-driving headphone (Grado SR225), mostly 16bit/44.1kHz pcm files, is the result between the two the same? I mean, is the implementation of the DSD1793 session dac chip the same?

I’dont think they bleed sound like crazy. My Grado SR225 do. The most enjoyable characteristic about this Sennheiser px-100 is that they don’t give me listening fatigue like my Grado. But man, there are many other qualities in this headphone. I use them only in-house and treat like gold too...

Hi! I am concerned about connecting iFi iDSD Nano (Usb 2.0) to a smartphone through a USB Type-C 3.1 (with iFi OTG cable that is 3.0 version, for example). If I forget to turn on iFi iDSD DAC before attach to the Smartphone: 1) Will It try to use Smarphone's power (3.1) at higher...

I'm not using yet. Just planning to buy one.

Is It possible to listen to youtube videos using the dac chip with Meizu smartphones? There are some great rare albuns in youtube. Lg V10 had a program to allow other apps to use the dac.

Quote:   When both the music player and the main operating system volume control are set to maximum, shouldn't It cut off the sound in headphone? I tought It would act as line out (no sound at all).

About the navigation improvements, I think the original rockbox GUI is a pain, but, as I said, using a mixed theme rockbox became even better than original stock.   About the SQ, I assure that I got improvements. A fuller sound (tweaking by software for sure). I must add that I use my unity...

(english) When I purchased mine I didn't got impressed at all, something lacking in dynamic, a punchier drum... So I decided give to rockbox a try and I must say I'm happier with my Clip+ now. Perhaps I don't care only about Hi-Fi, but Hi-Fun-factor, so (for me) the SQ got much enjoyable and...
