Mentioning firmware just because personally I thought the latest update seems to not activate the Class-A amp when not in use. Previously leaving that turned on while on standby drains much battery.- Cabalsoljea

From what I understand, it depends much on what you're driving, I.e.: the iem or headphone that you're using. The power draw is dependent on that. That said my experience with HD650 iirc is that the difference is not huge. Not more than 10/100 volume adjustments required to normalize- Cabalsoljea

Ah! I should qualify: personally loud for continuous commute usage, I.e.: >30min or so. On IEMs, my commute volume don't go over 30; typically 25, and 28 if it's exceptionally noisy outside. The occupational health folks at my ex-workplace once had a booth to educate about NID. Had a set-up...- Cabalsoljea

Wow! 75/100 is loud? I have my R5II limited at 50/100 volume level as I don't even go to 40 while using my HD650. :D @Cryanheh I believe this review might help? He also has the correct hardwares for your needs.- Cabalsoljea

Seems like this update kinda alleviates the battery drain when "Class-A" amp is left on while on standby. Been a few weeks where there isn't a significant difference to standby battery drain whether Class A was turned on or not. Very much appreciate it!- Cabalsoljea

Hmmm... I didn't have these WiFi issues so far. Mainly use Spotify myself, with some saving of my main playlists on device.- Cabalsoljea

Never tried fully ECO mode on a charge before... But yes this is true. Haha- Cabalsoljea

What I know from my own use: - to use as wifi tether, I have to select tethering on my phone when selecting r5ii. - to use as "dongle", after have done the above previously, forget R5II and reconnect but for media. I may be wrong, but I think they're not simultaneously possible.- Cabalsoljea

It'll probably become the very listenable Android DAP that has a long battery life. Would it have convinced me to go away from and let go of dongles? 15% less chance of it happening, at the very least.- Cabalsoljea

Not an owner, but this makes me wonder. Especially since the R5ii have the Class-A implementation.- Cabalsoljea

"For best results between Class-A and non-Class-A, find out the optimal gain setting." - me :D Was performing sighted A/B-ing between a same track on deezer and <redacted> using HD650, R5ii on high gain, Class-A. High gain because HD650. Can really hear the difference between the two, and makes...- Cabalsoljea

Just tried out tidal yesterday: it's noticable at the very start of app usage, and also if i pick a particular section of a track while playback is occuring. Unfolding origami needs patience~~~~ :D- Cabalsoljea
