I vote the S9 Pro. It doesn't add color to the sound and drives the FD7 well, as the Oppo PM3. I hardly use it now, due to battery drain, and it just doesn't sound as full as the HIP DAC 2

Thanks!

How do you do a log, and how do I tag him?

Wish there was another way, often accidentally tap the screen and change the song leaving it unlocked

Anyone having issues with UAPP stopping playback when screen turns off? Seems to be an issue with Android 12

Exactly, so since there is no way to tell exact charge level, it cuts power before a damaging level

1900 mAh makes sense, around 86% capacity. Fully draining a Lithium Ion pack damages the cells, so there is some form of voltage cutoff.

Lithium Ion drain to 20%

Going to get the same one again...hoping it doesn't have any issues. I've never had an amp/dac die like this. One of my old Fiio amps, back when the LOD cable for the iPod and iPhone was the way to go (the only time I had an Apple device), died in a similar manner after about 3 or 4 years. I'm...

Bay Bloor Radio has already sent me a prepaid shipping code to send it back

I couldn't even submit a ticket on the site, had to reopen an old ticket about USB connectivity

Fiio FD7 sounds fine on my S9 Pro. Not sure I'll go back for the HIP DAC 2...pretty sad that it died in less than a month. Turns me off all iFi products to be honest. I've had other brands of amps, and never had any die this quick

I've been enjoying my HIP DAC a lot, and have been listening to my Fiio FD7. Today, I suddenly lost my left channel. When I don't allow it to access UAPP, all I hear is a constant tone from the left, and in UAPP, I only hear right. Unplugging the 4.4mm jack, and plugging it back it with music...

Are there any nicer OTG USB C cables available for the HIP DAC (HIP DAC 2 in my case, but doesn't matter)? The stock black one is so stiff.

Yah, I'm just lazy in the regard I gather. I manage, rely on mqa picks and such. I found an album I love, An Evening with Silk Sonic...great on my PM3, superb on the FD7. I had no idea how much better music could sound. I'm even finding songs I don't love are enjoyable, simply because it sounds good

Okay. I do wish UAPP would allow you to explore other artists better. The usability is just a tad worse than Tidal, but it is nice to have top quality with my HIP DAC 2 and Fiio FD7

I've been noticing that Tidal access is lacking with UAPP. When I search for an artist, I cannot find compilations and instead find random various artist albums. Anyone else had issues?

2 I am enjoying it, except for the inability to use downloaded tidal content, and the fact that it asks to use the DAC EVERY time

I just use the UAPP EQ

I bought UAPP, and I can use eq as long as bit perfect isn't enabled. I'm one who would prefer eq over pure MQA sound...I really don't think the increased quality is noticeable, at least for equipment that is not top of the line. My only issue is that the UAPP interface isn't great, and can't...

I have sent a ticket

I've tried multiple apps, even the native EQ settings on my Samsung S21 do nothing. This is when playing through Tidal. When connecting to my phone, tidal asks for permission. It did not do this with the Hidizs S9 Pro, so evidently, the HIP DAC 2 is completely bypassing the android system, yet...
