3. if you mean the Impulse Response settings (Short, Sharp, Slow) i don't believe so. the DAC has to be behave in one of these ways - i believe Sharp is the standard for most DACs. when bitperfect mode is set in UAPP though, you are unable to change this setting on the fly, so I suspect it just...

assuming that we can trust Hi-Fi Status app, it is possible to trick to both AUX and HI mode. the trick has been explained to death already but once more for good measure in spoiler tags below. end result is screencap below. so the question remains - what is actually happening here when the...

i feel like I asked this question a few pages back, but I still see a very divided opinion here on whether High Impedance mode actually has any effect on the character or "quality" of the sound. it's definitely louder for sure? so if improvement is observed it would mean an increase in gain, not...

just when you think you can't love this phone anymore.. recently picked up a pair of LCD-2 F, beautiful looking cans but didn't expect my existing amp to provide the right juice to hear the magic (~1.5W). nonetheless ODAC (JDS Labs stand-alone) + Gilmore Lite did an admirable job but sounded...

recently joined the club myself - picked up a pair of used LCD2F, Fazor edition not for a terribly specific reason but my understanding is that they're (a little) easier to drive than other versions (and also i'm a sucker for the rosewood!). this is my first major upgrade from a super...

does anyone know how to disable an incoming call ringtone while headphones are plugged in? this is the bane of my existence right now. mind you - i am rooted AND have Tasker and for some reason nothing works to just have calls come through without stopping my music and blasting the ringtone in...

well the reason i ask is because, assuming there is some inherent benefit to always tricking the phone into HIM, if i'm just going to lower the volume to compensate, is there really any point? especially if i'm lowering *digital* volume instead of hardware. for example my ATH-M50x does not...

this may have been covered earlier in the thread, but when HIM mode is triggered, i'm assuming that the internal digital volume is automatically maxed and you are now controlling hardware volume - correct? or perhaps when any device is plugged into the headphone jack, when the Quad DAC is...

thanks for the response. this is reassuring and makes sense as the MQA standard wouldn't necessarily be understood by the underlying OS services. at any rate, enjoying the hell out this new phone. it sounds great and is able to drive my AKG K7XX without a problem. (:

so below is a MQA master track, streamed from Tidal through UAPP. if i'm reading these displays right, the LEFT screen is indicating the unfolded sampling rate should be 88.2 kHz (what is the Direct: 176.4 kHz?). the screen on the RIGHT is the meta data confirming again the intended sample rate...

i should have the latest version of UAPP available, but i will reinstall to ensure hardware decoder is being used. glad to hear the experts have found a way! i will test and get back to you. that being said, should i expect the Tidal app itself to decode, unfold and output at correct...

so i guess this software decoding replaces hardware pass through? i purchased the add on, but looks like even if the unfolding occurs, Android is downsampling to 48... yes im on Pie so i guess that throws a wrench into it but FWIW audio_flinger confirms that my own 96/24 FLACs are output through...

coming from a very meager listening rig,  pair of AT-M50 + hacked up HTC One, (surprisingly some Android phones don't sound half bad (: this would be my entry level rig with AKG 7xx's driven by Gilmore Lite. DAC is ODAC: this is a very clean, effortless listen that has brought new luster to...

sorry meant for somewhere else , you remove this post? cheers!

So I'm preparing to make my first investment in audio accessories for my new best buy blue HTC One lol. there's been some great discussion this thread regarding practical as well as no-compromise rigs DAC ext. amp and all. so i figure before asking for some advice I'd share some of my efforts...

i know where he lives. 

Quote:   thanks for the response. i soon after my post took a drive and tested out ipod classic with rockbox > aux input and suffice to say the sound quality and clarity vs my Droid phone, and in fact even CD playback of head unit, was drastically improved. after a little research...

hey all,   first off: after denying my parent's professions all my life (computer engineers), it has all come full circle for me: learning to software develop, hardware hack and otherwise DIY is as close to gaining magic powers as one can get these days- glad to see so much support every...
