I joined the party late. May I know if this operation bring any improvement in sound quality?

Please show me how to do this...

Can you provide more details on this? Pictures? I read a lot of good things about E1DA, I have thousands of lossless files in my hard drive, I really wish to play them on my hifi thru a good DAC.

so in that case, if I'm using a conventional vintage amplifier, I'd have to get a DAC with 3.5mm output? And, where is this E1DA Discord channel?

Hi, I want to buy a E1DA DAC to connect from my PC sound card to my vintage hifi system. I read that the output is 2.5mm balanced. May I know what kind of cable should I buy to connect it to my amplifier? Any example from Amazon or other sites?

I have an old phone Samsung Note 3 that has been idling around for some time. It is too cheap to sell, and it is still functioning alright. I read that some phones are having good reputations for their sound quality like some LG models. I am wondering, if I pair up Note 3 with a good DAC+Amp...

Yeah me too would like to know more about this. I'm late to the party, but I bought a used Pandora Hope IV (not the VI) from a friend recently, would like to know: 1. Main differences between the IV and the VI. 2. What types of pad works best for the IV. 3. Any pads from outside of Final Audio...

I don't mean any disrespect toward super high ends, I ask because I really have no chance to try on those, obviously they are too costly. Just like I will never get a chance to drive a Bentley, so if I want to know I'll just have to ask people who do.

No worries mate, there is a pretty close connection between the two, at least to me. Thanks.

Very innovative.......

Probably like Camry vs Jaguar.

Don't worry, if anyone thinks Sony does have some special edges in regards to SQ, then it's relevant here. Best if they could back it up with proofs. I'm still wondering, if supposed many of us accepted that most players in the range of US$1000 sound very very good already, what then, costing...

Many more reasonably priced devices can also ply DSD, like those Fiio's and Hidisz at least.

Now the direction seems to have turned to whether Sony has a special edge in the new generations of DAPs...

Thanks for a wonderful analogy of camera! I think I see the point better now. But I still have doubts: If all these DAPs are electronic "things", can't they all be tuned into similar sounding devices? Or put it the other way: What parts in a US$3000 device that cost US$2000 extra to make it...
