    is apple music a good source?

    The Android app is so buggy...it can be so frustrating.   And I find their whole playlist/radio thing very confusing.   But the library is great and offline listening works very well.  Can't understand how the app can be so buggy with their budget but anyways...

    is apple music a good source?

    Yup, confirmed today, the Beta version Apple Music app plays out the micro USB port on my Nexus 5.  (Perhaps this was obvious, but not to me, I thought it was app specific).   (I'm using Marshmallow stock OS)   Thanks again for the info guys.   Guess it's worth keeping the Apple Music...

    Yes I understand that. The question is if the app can play any file DRM or not out the USB on Android.

    Thanks for the info. Yes there is DRM on the downloaded music from Apple Music. Still can't seem to find an answer on the web whether the Apple Music Android app will play digitally out of the micro USB to an external DAC. Will report back when I try it next week.

    is apple music a good source?

    Does anyone know if tracks downloaded to be played offline with Apple Music can be played out the USB port to an external DAC?  I understand they are protected AAC (mp4) files and I assume they can't be easily played using Hibymusic or similar?     I am on an Android phone with Fiio Q1...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    If this is not the right thread for this I apologize....but I've searched and couldn't find.    What is the best Comply tip to use on the XB90EX.... I'm wondering does the T/Tx give too much of a bass boost for these already bassy headphones?     Would it be safer to go with th Ts/Tsx?    ...

    Search Function on the Site

    Hello,   Been lurking this site for a while, and finally started posting some questions.   It's an absolutely great source of info.     However, my one suggestion, is that your search function needs to be greatly improved.     The results it returns no matter how advanced of a search I use...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    The Fiio "E17k Revolution without Equal Alpen EQ" and "E18 KUNLUN" are almost the same price on Amazon.ca....   Your recommendation would still be towards the E17k?    Thanks again, Mike

    Thanks... the FiiO E17K Revolution without Equal ALPEN 2   is going for almost the same price as the FiiO E18 KUNLUN Android Phone USB DAC & AMP.       E17k would still be your pick there?

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Hi, I've read a ton of this basshead thread but wondering if you guys could just quickly direct me what to be searching/reading next.     I ordered the AD01 on recommendation and thought they were great, but could hear the deficiencies on the DAC on my Nexus 5. Figured I could do a bit better...

    Alpha & Delta AD01

    Hi, just picked up a pair of these and am very happy with the sound.   Found they needed a decent amount of EQ'ing within Neutron to bring out low mids of vocals, and I think I rolled back 250Hz, but bass is amazing right down to the bottom.    Using foam tips after experimenting with everything...

    Great news for rooted android users--Viper4Android

    Hi  Quick question from a new user, sorry if I'm in the wrong thread.  Searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.    I am running AD01 IEM with just my own EQ setting out of Neutron on a Nexus 5.     I am wondering what additional advantage rooting and Viper4Audio would provide?    ...
