Dan Clark Audio E3 Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
Given all of the reports on the need for adequate power for E3 to reach its full potential, and that it still sounds great with less powerful amplification, is it fair to say that E3 scales well? I think that most can agree that portable/ transportable devices have varying capabilities in terms...- dskelto

[FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread
No connection issues here with 900kbs from LG G8; connection distance is not as great as lesser bandwidth options, but that is to be expected. IMHO BTR5 sounds much cleaner, less muddled than es100; however BTR5 does not have EQ with LDAC. No problem for me as I don't use EQ, YMMV.- dskelto

LG V30
I have the HE-400i and the v30 is not up to driving them even in Aux mode. Regarding the v30 PM-3 synergy: Yes the PM-3 is a bit subdued in the upper frequencies, but the treble detail and energy of the v30 really balances that out. YMMV.- dskelto

3.5mm and 2.5mm TRRS balanced cable questions...
Also there are a number of different standards used for wiring the TRRS output. For Example the A&K 2.5 output is wired Tip R-; Ring R+; Ring L+; Sleeve L-. This is not compatible with the wiring for the OPPO PM-3 which is wired Tip L+; Ring R+; Ring L-; Sleeve R-. The new ifi idsd nano has...
