    LG V20 Sound Quality

    I wrote 2 hours just to say : leave it still a sufficient time '(if charge is too low, it won't turn ON).  I experienced such resurrections with android devices that didn't turn on after 20 minutes on charge, but did later. There wont be reaction on the PC if charge is near zero. Good luck.

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Did you leave it on the charger for 2 hours, THEN try to push on the power button for 10 seconds ?   Push long enough, then release the button, it should turn ON.   If you see no activity, try to connect it then with a USB cable to your computer. And see if there is activity on the phone or...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    Then try to listen to a V10 with the ESS DAC really activated : it's not the same phone anymore. Now you have volume, but above all now you have sound quality above all you have ever heard from any smartphone earlier, with increased depth, if you use headphones with enough resolution (the...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    Are you sure the high output was triggered on the V10, that you used the ESS DAC and not the integrated Qualcomm one ? (I see HD518 impedance is 50ohm, rather low, so I really wonder). The volume could be low with the integrated DAC on the V10, but once in AUX or HIGH mode, with the Sabre DAC...

    FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

    (sorry, late answer)   Then try to listen to Custom Art Ei.XX (Piotr makes universal ones too), this is really another league. Not the same price either, but as you wrote sub $1000... http://www.head-fi.org/products/customart-ei-xx-6-driver-ciem-massdrop-edition You have to appreciate...

    Reply to review by 'oliwek' on item 'COWON J3 32 GB Portable Media Player (Black)'

    lol, your audio comparisons (Cowon Z2, Sony walkman and even Samsung Galaxy better audio quality ????), seen from 2017, are... curious. I really wonder what headphones/IEM you used on those devices... was it stock earbuds ? Congrats, your notation contributed to a really low result for a great...

    FLC Technology FLC8 and FLC8s Impressions Thread

    Thanks.   By the way, I did test the Fiio cable (reversed on the left side) and it works correctly. I see that Fiio is selling (at least) two 2.5mm TRRS cables with 2-pins connectors : - RC-UE2B , the one I have...

        Hi. Could someone confirm that I have to reverse the left ear side pins to use this Fiio cable with my FLC8S (the picture above is for Triple.Fi 10) ?     Thank you

    Having trouble with my xduoo xd-05

    Yes, for android it's a bit of a lotery... But you could test with USB audio player pro (this app uses its own USB driver for audio, bypassing android audio), it works with many devices (even not working out of the box). Then you'll pay for the app if it succeeds  ...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    at last... too bad I made the jump on a 200GB one month ago, to accompany my LG V10   as a side note to nort ycagel : LG V10 amp stage is quite decent, but for 50 Ohm+ headphones (or you have to trick the phone with an extension cable to trigger the high power mode,using low impedance...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    then the question is : does HD audio really enhance anything in a car audio system ?   maybe on a (silent) parking lot ?   (I guess you don't drive with Audeze or HD800 cans, do you ?)

    Android phones and USB DACs

    1. Because some (hungry) headphones need more current (than what smartphones can provide) to really perform the best (wider soundstage/more powerfull bass/... it depends on the HP model). Some AMPs do also colour the sound (warmer sounding tube AMPs for example).   2. If your source outputs...

    Is it okay to leave headphones plugged into powered source at all times?

    Reading all of this, one has to really wonder why American people have 200x African people's carbon print  Guys, act individually for the planet, instead of fearing for the reduced life of your audiophile devices !       if you care for your 'headphones', just plug them in after powering...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    Quote: sorry for the late reply : yes connecting the DAC triggers a "USB device connected" (or something like this, as I have the UI in french) notification ; and for your later question, there is no settings to change to let the DAC work with the Galaxy Note 2 : as soon the DAC is...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    I use myself a Note 2 (international, Exynos based N7100), but I did root it from the beginning ; I'm still on the original stock rom though (4.1.1), I just changed the kernel to Perseus (alpha 34, really stable) because of the sudden death syndrome affecting this model. It works with a cheap...

    Android phones and USB DACs

    Quote:   The "Nexus S 4G" is a Nexus S (Samsung made) sold on the american market, so it's (1 Nexus generation) older than a Google Nexus (and much older than a Nexus 4). I suppose it's the same Wolfson DAC inside that I have in my european Nexus S (the same audio chip than the original...

    PA2V2 vs FiiO E11

    I don't intend to use the K701 walking in the street, but I would like to enjoy it in the garden, or just in my room, away from the main amp. So I wondered how this could sound from a portable amp. A Cowon J3 is already a decent portable source for this headphone, I wondered if a portable amp...
