    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    Bit matched output seems tricky on Android Surprised none of these services add an option to.enable.or disable high quality upsampling/downsampling can't imagine that difficult to code and whilst a compromise probably better than letting OS do it That said I still think Amazon HD sounds a lot...

    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    I've got fixed audio output to my E17 from my P20 Pro at 24/48 Still sounds fantastic though My iPhone SE slightly better in that using internal Dac maximum output is 24/48 but app suggests he output is bit matching where it can so I've seen the app state device is outputting 24/48, 24/44...

    got the update to 9.1.0.311 for my P20 Pro yesterday immediately I noticed my USB DAC (Fiio E17) sounding much better with Spotify - I thought maybe placebo then looked at front of the DAC and now its receiving 48khz audio vs on 9.0 it was upsampled to 96khz for all audio which didn't sound as...

    question regarding sampling rates etc please - I am looking for a new phone up to around £500 top of the list so far are the V30, G7 ThinQ and the OnePlus 6T over 90% of my listening to music is via Spotify - there I guess the V30 will resample the music ? Would I have any benefit in getting a...

    MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors

    fit and comfort are near perfect - no complaints at all did a 5 mile run in them and all good :) - bit of cable noise but moved the cable around a bit and most of it disappeared genuinely surprised how good they are - I was hoping for something I could "tolerate" for running - but wasn't...

    MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors

    received my MEE M6 Pros today - and even out of the box I think they sound fantastic - very impressed for the money I prefer them to the 2-3 year old Vsonic GR07s I have (the cable broke on them recently)

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    my GR07 after a few years of use, and a few months of running - ended up with a cable fault :( I've replaced them with MEE M6 Pros - and even out of the box I prefer the MEEs ... never could get on with the bass (seemed lacking) or treble (a bit too sparkly for my liking) with the GR07s - no...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    thanks Mickey and H20Fidelity - its annoying its so hit and miss on Android   both my Note 3 (Qualcom) and Tab S (Exynos) worked perfectly with 4.4 - neither work with Lollipop :(   Note 3 does work - with a work-around - faffy work around - but the Note 3 sounds ok as it is - it is the Tab...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    anyone tried a USB DAC on a Shield K1 with Marshmallow please ?   have a Samsung Tab S and Note 3 and annoyed that neither work with a USB DAC - other than with specific USB software (no use since all my music listening is with Spotify etc)
