Hi, I am sure this is available in the thread, but could not find it: Can the WM1 be used as usb DAC with in iPhone (X)? And if so, what does one need? Cheers

Seeing the latest posts, I am wondering: People seem to be saying BluH2 is better than Dave; but is it closer to Dave or to BluDave? I am seriously considering the Dave, but not sure I can justify the BluDave anytime soon. So am I better off getting the H2 with the plan of getting a Mscaler in...

Hi, I have question about USB. Is the length of the cable an issue if 3m? I was to get an Audience Audio cable made but they do not do 3m as it is not up to their standards due to the length (they will do 2.5m) at most. So is that just them and their sabke or any 3m cable will have a negative...

Just a quick comment: The gear you have might influence the music you like. My previous speaker system (I had it for 10 years) was quite bright (or south of neutral), and so is my reference home headphones system (Stax 009). During those 10 years: I got to enjoy symphonic orchestral music and...

@Whitigir I think I remember you use your Blue Hawaï straight from the 1Z. Is it really good or just ok? And which cable are you using? Due to changes in my speaker system, my DAC outpoput is already used so need something else to feed my DIY KGST. Cheers

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Are the CCK firmware upgradable?

I hear you: my journey will be: Phase 1: sell my wife's unused gear: Hermes and Dior bags Phase 2: find a dealer in France to get a better price than in Japan and pick it on my next trip home Phase 3: pray for my wife to never open her bag boxes.... Phase 4: pretend I need to re-arrange the...

Hi, Does anyone has a recommendation on a cable 4.4mm to 3 pin xlr to use as a source for my preamp? Also, what is the recommended setting regarding gain and volume? Cheers

Thank you for the reply. Actually I was aware of the AQ FAQ; this is where I learnt that it is a known defect. What I hope was some insight about : is there a chance this ever gets fixed (with the CCK); which basically means : is AQ still trying. I am reluctant to get the CCK3 as it is not...

Sorry, I could probably search the thread to find the info, but what is the status with clicks and pops on iPhone X. I got the Dragonfly red yesterday with the USB2 CCK, unaware of the fact that this is a know defect. Is there a chance this ever gets fixed or should I just forget it and try to...

Sorry to ask, but checking few pages back it was not clear; what is the latest version of FW available?

Thanks for the inputs, I will be looking for the Musashino online in JP. I do not need anything fancy, it is not for music, just the odd time I want to play games without bothering my wife.

Can anyone recommend a sturdy female 4.4 to male 3.5 adaptor for the odd time I want to use my reterminated cables on a lesser source/amp?

That is exactly what I meant and how I used Tidal on my Sony PHA-2

I do use Tidal, mostly for my wife's music when exercising. But I still buy the music I like and integrate it with Roon even if available to stream on Tidal. But I would not mind a USB DAC feature so that in the cases when nostalgia hits me (and I want to listen to heavy metal), I can just...
