mine had a strange behavior on pc usb out, on both main and office pc. with the ibasso driver installed, playing music on foobar using dc elite output (exclusive mode). there would be wierd popping sound when playing music. if i change the output to normal/non exclusive mode, it plays normally...

Yesterday i tested like this on 0.51 firmware: Hardware switch d mode on Main usb plugged in to charger(black usb port) The dekstop mode is not activated on the screen(no lightning icon on the left) Switched the usb to power in(orange port), instantly desktop mode activated, notif on screen...

The new firmware 0.62, once updated the option will be there on the device menu. Edit: also appears on fiio control app. Desktop mode usually can be only activated if the power usb connected(the orange port). After the update it allows d.mode activated even if only main usb(the black usb port)...

Just got mily btr17 delivered yesterday, out of the box updated straightaway to 0.51, then in the evening i saw the 0.62 update, did another update, i think it took like 3 attempts like what happened with others here until it was confirmed succesful. Have not used it for long listening...

speed doesn't matter, even using pro card reader, the max speed to write on microsd are severely limited by the Exfat format which the only format supported by daps. the 150MB/s write speed of the extreme pro cards can only write at about 30-40MB/s

M17 takes a while to appreciate the sound, thats for sure. Once you do, it's very2 special and addicting in its own way. It is super resolving, neutral, its so clear and honest, which also can seem dry. I feel that m17 resolves details like no others. never harsh. Just very realistic detailed...

wonder how btr17 compares to ka17 connected to pc in particular, using foobar2000. they both have exact same dac chip, amp, and usb controller.. could it be both sound the same or very similar

i don't think any r2r dac will shine in detail and resolution department.. the point of using r2r is to have nostalgic vintage sound which sounds more analogue, organic, which will present vocals/mids in such a nice enjoyable sound. if details and resolution are what you're looking for, you're...

True this. Chipped mine when i dropped it on the desk, where it met my aluminium corsair keyboard frame edge. Underneath the blanc ceramic coating is still aluminium though. It bothered me for a few days but now im okay with it. Didnt affect the sound at all.

have both fourte OG and blanc. love both. blanc sounds a touch warmer, thicker, bassier, more fun. while the OG, sounds more transparent, clearer, and superbly engaging(blanc can't beat this, subjectively by preference). back then i've tried to look at other iems/brands, owned them, yet...

Sorry cant say too because i always use the desktop mode. Since new i only connect the q15 to pc and powered by usb adaptor on the q15 orange usb slot for power. Never drained the battery ever and let it stay at 50% ish.. Bought the q15 thinking someday if i need a bluetooth enabled portable...

updated smoothly and running smoothly, no problem at all. all settings reverted to default after update, quick setting here and there for a couple minutes and done. oh yeah, i don't use the EQ feature.

that would be the volur according to people who tried/owned both u12t and volur.. i have the volur but never had the u12t so i cannot say.

i tried the azla sedna max which has waxguard. the waxguard? it easily teared

i would suggest, if possible to test it first before deciding which one to go for, because hearing is such a subjective matter and not everyone hears the same. but to answer your question, for better clarity extension and detail, maybe ka17, but it may sometimes sound sharp(rarely though). for...

If disregarding the noise, i'd say the ru7 has equal level of sound quality compared to dce. Difference being ru7 more organic lusher warmer sound, and dce more precise and detailed, and super transparent. Both are superb technically and superbly musical. One cannot go wrong with either. As...

i had both, let go of the ru7, as good as it sounds, the clicking noise on beginning of tracks (and sometimes in middle of) kinda gets annoying.

u4s dc elite - pc Grum - stay

1 dc elite 2 q15 3 ru7 4 ka17 5 ifi goldbar 6 lp w2

just use the anker charger on the link you posted, plug to the orange colored usb port on the dap. the same plug also serve to charge the device battery too should you need it. thats' all it takes. as long as your house electricity circuit is grounded properly, that should suffice in powering...

sorry, i dont' quite understand the question?

i had both ru7 and elite. in my use case: strictly connected to PC only, playing via foobar. ru7, while as good as it is, it has one annoying thing: the little clicking noise that sometimes appear when changing tracks between formats/bitrate. compared to elite, the sound from ru7 is denser...

more than good. it's an excellent choice

didn't know ifi make usb chargers? if so that might be even better!

any QC or PD usb charger would work. for extra assurance buy from reputable brands such as anker, aukey, etc.
