    I did try a number of different versions of the Tidal app, including the old version on the Fiio app store. and all had the same problem. Besides UAPP does exactly the same thing, so it isn't app specific.

    I’m having a problem with Tidal MQA files on the M11 Plus. For the first 5-10 minutes of playing an MQA track I get stuttering audio. This happens with both streaming and downloaded files. After the 5-10 minutes, the stuttering clears up. UAPP has the same problem, so it’s not the Tidal app...

    I would place the difference somewhere between subtle and comical.

    Yes, I immediately noticed a distinct difference between ANC off and on as soon as I received the PI7s. As you say, elevated bass and a bit of a tunnel effect, although I think the tunnel effect is just a part of the elevated upper bass. I found that different tips (spinfit or xelastec) improve...

    If only manufacturers would talk to each other directly instead of going the user - victim, really - this would all be so much easier.

    I bought them from the B&W online store which has a 30 day return policy (here in Canada, at least). So I submitted a return request and bought a new pair. They emailed me a Fedex shipping label, so the return was free. I haven't actually got my money back yet, but I presume it will sometime...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    My first pair was like that. The replacement has been stable so far.

    Yes, I get a pop when I turn on ANC - as you say, like turning an amp on.

    Here is an update on the replacement PI7s that arrived yesterday. The first pair I had were plagued with problems: wireless charging didn't work; I had frequent bluetooth dropouts; the final straw was that the right phone developed a loud sizzling when ANC was on. The new pair: wireless...

    I must have big ear holes, since use the large size on any tip I get - come to think of it, I found the cp360L to be a little smaller than the usual L size. You might want to try AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC - they work for me and their sizes tend to be on the large side. They are sticky, so they...

    I find that one discharges more quickly than the other, too.

    I didn't like the PX either, but I like the PI7s very much. There is just a hint of the boxiness that put me off the PX but I don't find it objectional on the PI7s. I do lift the treble on the PI7s to suit my taste. I have antique ears, so that might be part of why.

    I've tried CP360 and CP100 (4-5.5mm). Both work fine.

    Well, yes, if the tips don't fit well, not only is noise reduction going to suffer, so is the sound. With tips that fit, I find the overall noise reduction better than the xm3. As you say, the highs still come through somewhat, and I presume the PI7s aren't as good as the Bose (I don't have...

    My replacement PI7s arrived today. Wireless charging now works, no sizzling in the right earpiece when ANC is on, sound is the same (which is good), no bluetooth dropouts so far (early days yet, though), ANC is the same - which is OK, since it seemed fine on my original pair. The only oddity is...
