    Apple AirPods Pro And NEW AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (from 23 Sep 2022) - Impressions

    Trying to stack my HIP DAC with a Sony NW-A105 playing Apple Music. When I play Apple Music nothing plays on the HIP DAC. Anyone know what I can do?

    You'll need a power supply to make it work with a phone. Mine works fine with an iPhone XS Max on CKK to DAC.

    Has anyone tried this with a Macbook direct to USB C? Does it improve the sound from what the headphone jack offers? Plan to use with Audirvana when I don't want to bring my iFi Nano around.
