    Will this be an upgrade over soundmagic e11c? I know these are budget but being a student in India these expenses count. Thank you..

    FiiO Q1MKII- Native DSD Support, XMOS USB DAC chip, DAC AK4452, 20 hours

    I am rather confused between q1 mk2 and btr 1k. Bluetooth is not a necessity to me,the deciding factor would be the sound. How do they compare? Also can I use them with sensitive iems? I am getting them mostly to use with iems. Thank you.

    Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

    I am from India and been using qobuz for quite a while using VPN. I think the songs in qobuz have similar master like apple music. I like apple music and prefer it over Spotify. I feel like some songs sound quite different... Especially older songs sound better on apple music like Peter Paul and...

    iPad Pro 12.9?? Better than most outboard DACs

    To connect the chord MOJO to the new USB c iPad, I think a USB c to micro USB cable would suffice. Or do I need to go through some weird method again? Like camera connection kit?

    LG V30

    I do not have experience with newer LG phones, but the one I had ended up with boot loop. So I am kinda dreading the LG phones. As of now using a xiaomi mi a1. I also own a 7th gen ipod nano, and I like the output of the nano better. The sound output of mi a1 just doesn't feel right, no matter...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    How is the audio quality of the iPhone? I think they use Cirrus logic chipsets. How does it compare to the sound of htc 10, also what headphones and what genre of music do you generally listen to. Thanks. Thinking of buying a phone but Android just isn't for long term use.

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    I own a mi a1. The headphone o/p is loud but to my ears is a bit harsh. My headphones are soundmagic e10c, sennheiser hd 598 and apple earpods. The mi a1 can drive the 598 no problem while the ipod nano 7th gen generally struggles with it. But to my ears the ipod sounds more pleasant and warm.

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    There's nothing in the official website and the reddit too is quiet about this. So far all I know is Xiaomi is using a dedicated amp in Mi a1, the dac is the stock snapdragon dac. Now I don't know which specific amp they are using. But trust me things here can get really loud. I generally keep...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    I think I have gotten close to my desired sound in mi a1. Boosted the mids especially the 230 hz and 940 hz a bit and regressed the highs and the lows too. Kinda looks like a bell shaped curve. or more accurately a wave. I don't know if the original sound signature was flat or not, but...
