    Hifiman HM1000: Worlds first Quad PCM 1704 DAP

    Not sure if it was covered already here but in case anyone is interested I found this link to a review of the new HM800. I have not myself tested the Himalaya Dac but the size and weight of this device are interesting although i would have preferred a conventional 4.4. or 3.5 output on it.

    same as the blue posted above, from easecase on ebay but also available on aliexpress. they do a great job although i wish it could be very slightly tighter but this is easy to fix. i plan to order 1 more with no holes except for the usb c and the jacks.

    Yes that's the purpose of the app indeed.

    Hi, I used the android app which works fine except for the fact you do not get the album covers. That said you can also simply use spotify if you dont mind streaming in LDAC.

    First two weeks with HM-1000 Gold and must say quite pleased with it so far. The fact that it has no UI is indeed a relief given the complete inability of HM to produce anything remotely decent on that level. Sound is excellent as expected, probably the most musical to my ears. Battery is...

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    Hi All, Apologies if this has been posted before but i did try to find it and could not. Is there any way to revert to previous firmwares on LPGT? I can see old versions are available on the website of Lotoo, I can download them and put them in the upgrade folder on the SD but then the manual...

    HIFIMAN Releases New Flagship DAP "R2R2000"

    It does but it requires quite a lot of power. If i use it as dac from my LPGT for instance, the LPGT will not be able to power it so the DAC function may not work very long. It is indeed annoying that there is no way to prevent it to use power when it works as DAC. That said from a laptop it...

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    It's bound to happen or perhaps with the successor of AK4499Eq but i am not specifically looking forward to it unless there is an audible difference of course which is not obvious as the best sounding daps are not necessarily the ones with latest DAC as you very well know. I think it would be...

    HIFIMAN Releases New Flagship DAP "R2R2000"

    Thanks, i find it good with U18t but I use Iematch from ifi. Indeed it's also a matter of cable and tips. The only potential issue is it is a bit on the bright side sometimes.

    HIFIMAN Releases New Flagship DAP "R2R2000"

    It's interesting and I mean no disrespect but I have some doubt as to how can the wood addition to the TP would make such a big difference. It would be great if there is any other technical or software improvement that it be clarified. Also in all fairness i believe it is key to bear in mind...
