I want a free lunch and an N8ii packaged as a dongle. Heck, why not an N7 built into my phone without the dongle at no additional cost? ;-) I am thrilled to read about the N3U release. I'll probably buy one and use it with my laptop and/or phone. I'm streaming from my laptop to my DAP -->...

First, congratulations!! But how did you do it? I do not recognize any symptoms yet. How did you know you needed to do so? How did you find the battery on AliExpress and how much? How did you disassemble it? What about the third wire? Sorry for all the questions but I know I will want to...

I've read the thread. The Phantom looks different (for me, as appealing as the yet-to-be-released Tesla pickup). It seems to me that the black-on-black photos are intended to obscure this. To me, it looks like two units from two manufacturers super-glued together. Prior iFi products looked...

Happy New Year! I read pages 450 to 530. Thank you for your posts and sharing information. I'll summarize what I've learned. - Dead n6ii might be resolved by holding the power button for 15 – 30 seconds. This fix is for Qualcomm protective mode. - Dead n6ii on charger for 10 minutes might...

I think of this as possibly a contender for my new DAC. But I don't think of Bluetooth as great sound. "In plain English, this means that the Bluetooth should sound downright gorgeous" confuses me. For now, I'll postpone judgement until someone listens to it and writes a review. If another...

Not sure if this was previously mentioned. The published discounts look nice: * Klipsch up to 58%: https://www.crutchfield.com/product/specials/default.aspx?offerid=152649 * B&W up to 40% off: https://www.crutchfield.com/product/specials/default.aspx?offerid=152477 (sorry for the long URLs)...

The Amazon specs looked weak until I found this info: Output Power: 2W(16Ω), 1W(32Ω), 500mW(300Ω), 250mW(600Ω) Maybe not so bad. The remote may be bad, but the SE amplification reviews seem good.

Naim Uniti Atom for $2849 Musical Fidelity MX-HPA for $599 Nice discounts!

Does it offer a line-output? $200 might be ok if it can outperform the other premium dongles. Otherwise, it is a me-too and too-late type product. The leather case looks nice and seems reasonable at $15, but I wish it were included as I sometimes procrastinate purchasing cases and then have...

Beautiful!

Andy, thank you for your poise and grace. I'm not interested in the OS, hardware, or the economics of sourcing parts. My perspective derives from my employment: if I start trying to tell other people how to run their business, things go down-hill immediately. Thank you for keeping things on...

"Mini" as in lower power than the R01? Since it is R2R, there is not a Line Output?
