Interesting that I decide to use my iPad as transport For now. I shall wait for next year and hope something else will be releases. Em5 is the first desktop with Apple Music app I don’t think it will be the last. I am I different with the android actually. I tried matrix but was not excited about.

@Wildcatsare1 I hope I am not too imposing. Any chance of you trying out day of em5 and vmv d1es? would be really keen to hear your impression? Do you have planar? have you driven tried planar directly on your em5? Thank you.

An option yes. If I end up with only one device, Its even better. I need to try first.

Well. I already have mac mini m1 > vmv1 d1se > gustard h20 > goldplanar gl1200 / sony z7. My thought if u can replace macmini with this em5. I would love to hear that impression from @Wildcatsare1 as he has same dac. If no or little different, I think I will be em5 > gustard h20 > goldplanar...

Anyone has experience connecting this to external Dac?I am thinking of connecting to smsl vmv d1se using xlr. Wonder how's dac performance compared to smsl. Thanks.

Does this mean that there's Apple Music app installed in EM5 already? we play Apple Music Lossless directly from EM5 and is not via AirPlay etc? if this is the case, this is priority for xmas present. :)

Oh wow. Thanks. The review says it was good with HEDD. Since HEDD and goldplanar are similar, i gonna give it a try.

I am in the market for new DAC. My headphone is GL2000. Anyone has experienced DA8ii and DAART Aquila ii? What's your impression? Thank you

Hi Thank you for responding. I am really grateful you spending time to help me. Will the wrong revert version brick my unit? i think i have the this version. -> see screenshot i don't understand your reply "other Midnight v2". i downloaded the past stock revert. I only see...

Hi everyone @MrWalkman i want to install the new one but unsure which one I hv. I think it is "StockRevert_Midnight_(for_1A)" but want to ask before executing wrong stock revert. mine said Midnight (Classic) 3.02. photo is provided. thank you.

Thanks. I got the GL850. That's what I heard that 1200 is better sounding but need speaker amp 😂😑. I like the sound of 850 much better than Ether Flow 1.1. Though I feel the mid is "missing" that omph feeling. I am guessing ty hats where 1200 comes in. Which one do have? 1200? I am searching...

Anyone can recommend headphone amps for gl850? Is it the same with gl1200 that it needs speakers amp? Thanks

Thank you so much.

@nsk1979 thanks for replying. What's sort of bugs? Will it play at higher than 16/44.1? In my Mac mini it's limited. Appreciate it.

Hi. Browsing the thread I assume there's no issue with login to apple account with n6ii. Anyone want to share your experience with apple music app installed in N6ii and playing lossless? Playback is smooth? Sound? My use case is to connect to amp other than portable. Thanks.
