Does it also do volume and track control with the headphones remote?  I was reading the specs and it didnt really say.  I wish these dac/amps would pass thru remote control functions.

Now this is great info!  What is the audio midi utility saying?  Since there is no "auto" mode in the utility, I am wondering does the mac upsample to what this is set at?  Or is this more of a "max allowable" setting?  I assume your dragonfly changes colors between normal/hifi/master?  ...

how do you see the sample rate on mac? tia

Not sure if the mac is upsampling or downsampling, but i can select any of those options and the HD will play.  No error messages.

I just downloaded the app and it looks like MQA is available for me.  Did you set passthru up?  I bet this is why you're having an issue.  I am guessing it needs to be unchecked.  I will do some testing later this evening....

more interesting screenshots...this is my built in speakers on mac!!!  What well technically its the built in dac right.  so what gives with the centrance??  whats the dif between 32bit integer (hd) and float (mac)?  i wonder if this is some sort of driver issue.  do you have any other dac...

Here is a side question - are you sure that tidal is 24 bit?  According to this their FLACs are 16bit https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/201594722-How-good-is-the-sound-quality-on-TIDAL- nm- i see you are trying MQA.  I don't even have that as an option??  I pay for HiFi.   Now that...

Yep, an awesome deal @ $109.  I've had it for about a week now.  Great form factor for portability.  Did you need to do any special driver uninstall/install on win10?

$109 deal is back.  I jumped on this the first time and it didn't last too long.... http://www.buydig.com/shop/product/CENDACPORTHD/Centrance-DACPort-HD-Portable-Reference-DAC-Amp-with-DSD?sdtid=9642692&omid=200&ref=cj&utm_source=CJ&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_content=4485850

Did you uninstall the old drivers first?  I'm just running off memory and I think I read something about uninstall, reboot, update drivers, (not sure if it needs a 2nd reboot).  I have not hooked this up to my win10 machine yet, but it works perfect with my macbook and iDevices.

Anyone know if this is compatible with cck? https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Micro-Adapter-Connector-Tablet/dp/B015GZOHKW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8   And what about this cable instead of cck?  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N77VPS3/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_3_w   Just trying to...

  Thanks for sharing.  That's what I was afraid of!  I know that I'll get shorter cables, although you have them wrapped pretty well.   Do you have all that in a bag or is any of it dangling?  Easy to access the volume?  I'm just contemplating my solution for public transit.  ATM its 6s->b&o...

      Couple of data points for you which you can add to the main page or not.  This should work with the iphone 7....   I have an iphone 5 on ios 10 and a iphone 6s on ios 9 and an ipad mini on ios 10.  I recently snagged a deal on the hifiman 400i and fiio q1 combo.  Also found a great...

Thanks for the comparison!  I look forward to my battle between the M2's H6's and PM3's.  Since I don't have the PM3's yet, which would you say are better for commuting?  I take mass transit to work, so isolation and comfort are important to me.  And of course I'll listen to them in the office...

I would love to try these out and agree to the t&c's

What did you end up getting?   I'm looking at the M2's and the Oppo's.  I will be using them for commuting on public transit and at the office.

What did you end up deciding on?  Are the PM-3's good for commutes on public transit? 

  Thanks again for the details!  I think for commuting purposes its going to be the M2's.  I assume both isolate (loud train noises) equally well - should have asked that too.

Thanks for the write-up.  Which ones are lighter or more portable?  I take mass transit to work and would be wearing them then and in the office. TIA

Quote: iphone 5, double amp'd.  Or ipad mini also double amp'd.     at 12 o'clock (mid point), it sounds very nice and more than enough power - i'm not complaining.  I just figured it would get painfully loud at max and i was surprised that it did not.  Not that I want that, just an...

Quote: An interesting test that peaked my curiosity...   Here in Atlanta the cicada are in full force.  I can hear them from inside my house and decided to do a test.  My Senn Momentums pretty much completely block out the sound.  The Beyer DT880's on the other hand allow me to still...

Quote:   I've seen mixed results when using the 30p to lightning adapters, so wouldnt this mean that lightning is also dual A&D out?

I'm a newb, but I'll take a stab at this....   They are different connectors......   The digital out connector would be a lightning/30 pin connector at one end and a usb connector at the other end.  this would be a digital signal and you'd input this into a DAC device, then to an amp or...

Very funny!! I thoroughly enjoy my $60 creative live aurvana cans. Not nearly as comfy as an expensive set, but I still consider them a great value for performance. I was driving a set of 250ohm cans and had to max the volume on my iDevice. I have since bought an amp, but still in a double amp...

Does that actually let you bypass the amp AND DAC? I've read about varying results.
