Does anyone know if recent iPhones have analog gain control or is the gain controlled digitally by reducing the dynamic range. Thanks.

Any ideas guys?

I just bought a pair of RHA MA750i's to use primarily with my iPhone 6s Plus. I didn't realize that it actually has something like a 4-5ohm impedance output, all my previous Android phones have been like 1-2Ohm. I know there is that 1/8th rule, for example in theory I should be using at the...

Hey guys I'm looking for cheap IEMs that can do a decent amount of sub-bass and are at least on par with Xioami Piston 3's in terms of audio quality. Any suggestions? 

I seriously can't see how Viper would disable the amplifier... It's all software/Android audio routing that is done way before it gets anywhere close to the DAC/Amp. Also I can confirm the Mixer_paths.xml/ALSAMixer method is some form of Analog gain control as I can hear the noise floor change...

 I feel like people don't understand what Viper really is. It's just a system-wide equalizer/sound effect app. People act like it just instantly increases audio quality or something... in fact you could argue Viper actually makes audio quality worse.

Still standing by the fact that setting your Mixer_paths.xml or AlsaMixer to setting to 0 is the same as high-impedance mode, the cable and the AlsaMixer/Mixer_paths.xml method sound exactly the same to me with the exact same volume, on top of the fact that When you plug high-impedance...

You sure whatever "voice mail ringing hack" isn't actually shutting the ESS DAC off and enabling the Qualcomm one?

Pretty sure the amp is always active when hi-fi mode is enabled judging from the different volume settings in Mixer_paths, and there is no high-gain setting on the amp, just values from 0-80. Plugging in a high-gain device sets that value in AlsaMixer (or Mixer_paths) to 0. Aux is 13, and normal...

Found a way to change analog gain value without having to mess around with editing Mixer_paths.xml and what not. Assuming you're rooted download ALSAMixer from Google Play install ALSA from in the app and make sure you select alsa_amixer controls as your Mode in settings in the ALSAMixer App...

Anyone here able to compare the V10 to a Fiio E10k? because if this phone can come close to an E10K I'm buying one right now... Also looking on XDA it seems like you can edit Mixer_paths.xml and make the lower gain modes go to the same analog hardware volume as "Line out" and "High-Gain"...

I ordered a pair of Koss PortaPros directly from Amazon... somethings a bit strange about this pair though. The little screw on the left side is just a plastic bump, the inside of the plastic is very clean looking without any plastic mold lines, all of the text is a tiny bit bigger than my...

I was wondering... do one you think you could donate me your shirt clip from your MH1C? I have a pair I got in bulk packaging from eBay and they didn't come with the damn shirt clip and it'd be really nice to have for work where I do a lot of physical labor and moving around... I'd be willing to...

So I finally upgraded to 5.0 Lollipop on my Google Play Edition One M8. I've noticed that the "popping" I got in 4.4.4 from bass beats around 50 or 60hz are gone... Though now I get some sort of amp clipping when turning the amp up with FauxSound. It only clips when there's stupid amounts of...
