Neither is the case, the BT11 is a Bluetooth transmitter. The DAC is required on the receiving end device, either Bluetooth headphones, speaker, or Bluetooth enabled HiFi DAC, etc...

Judicious use of a heat gun only softens the glue, it doesn't get rid of it in any way and it can be reused just as you described you did, the heat simply makes it easier to use your fingernail and/or a thin tool such as a spatula to peel it up the leather without deforming it. If a heat gun...

They didn't do that, thats your interpretation, no hard date was ever set.

There was no promise of any kind that I saw, apologies if I missed it. The dates provided previously in this thread were all estimates and subject to the completion of a firmware revision.

Would this also work with a Lightning to Type-C adapter?

Do you have a target release date for the U.S. yet?

If you have a heat gun you can soften the glue (don't overheat anything) and use a thin spatula to pry it up gently.

It will also output digital, but only in USB device mode, which is compatible with a very small number of external DACs. The Gen. 5.5 is not capable of USB host mode, that capability starts with the Gen.6 Classic which is compatible with a much wider range of DACs.

It's not UAPP per se that is chug-a-lugging the battery, it is Bluetooth, noise cancelation, and hi-res track sizes that whack the battery.

They will at some point but so far have not. The only things currently working with Max are a direct connection to the iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS desktop apps. Neither their own Connect feature, nor Chromecast is yet compatible, and the API has not been updated.

I don't think they do either, mine is an older (now discontinued) micro USB to Type A female version, as is the version of the DragonTail that I have.

We don't really differ there, just a different way of saying essentially the same thing I think. I prefer the sound of the Audio-Technica over the DragonTail, and the iFi adapters, but I don't think it is an Earth shaking difference, and further it is impossible for me or anyone to say that...

That adaptor must be OTG compatible or it won't work, and some that are actually described as OTG compatible simply aren't. How do I know? I've tried many of them for just the use case you are describing with an older Samsung Galaxy S7. This one works (but many others that look just like it do...

MQA is upsampling with a leaky minimum phase filter that causes aliasing. All MQA source files are either 44.1, or 48kHz native sample rate. Probably won't matter much very soon, MQA is in administration and unlikely to remain a going concern.

Perhaps OTG or host mode is now just baked into the Type C spec at this point? My CEntrance HIFI M8 v2 also works with a regular Type C cable, however others seems to report issues with the use of certain cables, and some cables even seem to retain the old directionality issue as well where it...
