I see. My phone doesn't support LDAC unrooted. And I don't want to.

I'm unable to connect my phone to R3 using aptX. The connection always reverts back to SBC. But I can hook up my phone and also my R3 to the same earphone over aptX (not the same time, ofc). Any idea, how could I fix this?

These songs play on PC, Android Tidal app, Logitech Squeezebox' Tidal app, Tidal integration of Android Usb Audio Player app I still think, it has something to do with regional restrictions, and probably Tidal thinks the device is located in China. Because the device' regional settings seem to...

This stupid piece of junk stucks on China timezone and geographical location, thus we all get the China geo limitations.

Can DA8 play DSD over SPDIF?

And be prepared, that you might kill the headphone out because of a short circuit, while you plug in your phones. The 1/4" TRS jacks can short the contacts of your 1/4" female connectors while halfway inserted, and thus overloading and breaking the headphone preamp circuit. That's the reason for...

I'll be in with $20. I vote for Ultimate Ears Reference Monitors.

1. K500 2. K240 Sextett LP 3. K240 MKII 4. K240S 5. K370 6. K141M 7. K140

Did anyone try to use E80CC tubes instead of the original 12AU7 for the Bravo V2?

I have both Sextett LPs and the 55ohm MKIIs. Both are fine. The new one has more bass, but less detailed. The Sextett has more and better mids, while the MKII has better and more detailed highs, but less of them. The MKIIs are more laid back, while the Sextett LPs are as flat as my studio...
