aptX Adaptive / aptX Lossless USB Transmitters
Anyone familiar with how aptx adaptive is supposed to work in backward compatibility mode? I got some Yamaha TWS that claim to have sbc, aac, and adaptive. But my Pixel 6a just shows I am doing aptx connection only so I am confused. Pixel 6a doesn't show aptx adaptive in developer options...- ishmael

Comment by 'ishmael' on listing 'Audeze LCD-2.2 (no Fazor)'
Someone messaged me saying these look like they have the Fazors based on the pictures that show the pads. They thought maybe the headphones were serviced after 2014 which would get them a Fazor upgrade. I purchased these local in 2013 and they have never left my house. Never been sent in for...- ishmael

Review: Questyle Audio QP1R - With Multiple Headphone and IEM Pairings
No, I am considering buying a QP1R though. The optical out feature would be a benefit to me in the situation I would use the device in. Not critical though. I didn't even think they released the regular QP1. My post above was just a typo I guess.- ishmael

Review: Questyle Audio QP1R - With Multiple Headphone and IEM Pairings
Quick question. If I use a QP1 in USB DAC mode, will it also output a digital signal over Toslink in that situation? I guess you would call it a USB to SPDIF (optical) converter in that case. I know it will put out a signal from the headphone out and line-out, but what about a digital output?- ishmael

HIFIMAN SuperMini Impressions Thread
Did you just get a new battery and that fixed the problem? I swapped a known working battery with a friend who has a 901, and still my 802 doesnt work. I was interested in the Supermini but not if I am concerned about reliability.- ishmael

HIFIMAN SuperMini Impressions Thread
Thread bump. My HM802 sat unused for a few months. Now it has an issue. I charged it for several hours then went to boot and it hung on the boot screen. Only way to get out of that was a battery pull. Now it won't even turn on at all. Tried charging all day and even tried another battery, tried...- ishmael

Impedance adapter for iem use?
I've owned a few amps over the years which don't work well with my iems. Too much hiss for sensitive earphones I guess. Friends have suggested I pick up an impedance adapter so I have a question about how they work. The ones I've seen are typically around 75 ohms. Does this mean it gets...- ishmael

Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier
I already own a Simaudio Moon Andromeda so I skipped the add on DAC. I heard it at the dealer and it sounded good though. Reminded me of their older Equinox player.- ishmael

Nuforce HA-200: High performance, Single Ended, Class-A Headphone Amplifier
I have a pair of silver ha200 amps for sale. PM me if interested. They were fun to play with but I've got a Simaudio 430HA now. I can't see the nuforce amps getting much use now. They are really nice in monoblock mode though, push my LCD3 very well.- ishmael

I'm going to try to make it, my first event of this type. Can anyone confirm if vendors are allowed to sell gear on site? And if so, is that a common thing or no? I'm wondering if I should make plans to come home with some extra gear. Anyone have experience with this? Maybe some good...- ishmael

Question for solid-state amp owners from a tube-head
Yulong A18 is very good with HD800 and T1. I don't really like the T1 much but the A18 makes it listenable for me. And HD800 is a very good match.- ishmael
