Ya, that's the line of though I had, though not as eloquently put lol. Looks like the search for Aptx-HD in the car continues. I found a cool gadget that was perfect for in-car use and even had a puck to skip tracks but it sadly only supports normal aptx.

That is great to hear, thanks Pierre! The other part of my question has to do with the battery health at high temperatures. It's been known to get up to 95+ here. It would be baking in the car, do you think the battery will hold up? I sometimes forget to park in the garage and the car's out on...

Thanks! Guess this isn't for me. 113F is pretty much a car left outside around mid 70s on a sunny day I think.

bump?

Anyone know the answer? D:

I have BT built in but audio ain't very good. Looks like this is a pass for me then, thanks!

How well would this work in the car? Any options to remove the battery so I can leave it plugged into the aux port?

Hi Folks, Is there a option to remove the battery so I can leave this in the car? Any specs on operating temperatures?

bump?

Unfortunately I don't have a car with AA/CP support so I'm looking for the next best thing. Does anyone have a good recommendation for something I can stick into my car's aux port and forget about it? Ideally it should support both AAC and aptX/LDAC as I have both iOS and Android. I don't...

Like some of the others, the OSSIC closure gives me pause and hopefully we can an update for the Mobius. Based on what I've read, it seemed a big contributor was the material and manufacturing costs that did them in. I'm more confident in Audeze as an established company but fingers cross...

Hmm, so I pulled the trigger. Love me some good spatial sound in gaming when in sims and with VR what they're harking sounds good to me. (The potential to be a better sound whore also doesn't hurt xD) I switched to the newer creative software based eax and its just not very impressive. I'm...

I am using an X7 and use to run the X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty (with dts and dolby but honestly with atmos and the DTS equiv out, this are legacy imo). I don't think its worth stepping up to the AE-5. IMO the main hallmark of creative was either hardware sound/surround processing. EAX isn't making...

Sorry for the lengthy delay. To answer your questions: Output was whatever waves configured by default. I did not attempt to change. Playing with buffer did not help (or at least was not helping afaik), going lower or higher changes the distortion but didn't make it clear I was not able to...

Hi All, I'm having issues getting Waves Nx to output audio correctly. When the virtual headphones are setup, audio sounds very distorted and garbled. I'm on Windows 10 with a Creative x7 dac/amp. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I posted this on the X7 review thread but I figure it would get more visibility as a discrete post. ------------------- I've been having some really odd hissing/buzzing noises with my Schiit Asgard 2 paired with a X-Fi Fatal1ty internal card. It doesn't happen when I plug the...

Hey guys, I've been having some really odd hissing/buzzing noises with my Schiit Asgard 2 paired with a X-Fi Fatal1ty internal card. It doesn't happen when I plug the headphones directly into the soundcard and I suspect it might be somehow due to the power cable as I swapped it with a different...

Well after some browsing the for sale section, I decided to go get a used Asgard (much more than I anticipated on spending but based on the reviews I think it has good value). I reevaluated my need for a portable amp given that I find myself using earbuds on my phone more due to the sound...

I took a look, and I like it! Seems to be a nifty all in one. Does it go on sale often? I notice it as a vote option on massdrop but it seems unpopular there.   Also know if I can still have 3d surround with an external dac or will I just be using the amp in that case?

Hmm well I'm not sure if I'm interested in the Vali if the magni is so much cheaper. I'll just browse for $100 amps I suppose. Can't seem to find a good one that is also portable though :/

Dang, $165 for the c5... Hmm I guess I'm going to just hold off for now. Maybe I'll consider a magni...

Fair enough. I guess I'll look at higher priced stuff. I think if I'm spending more I'd like to be able to use the amp with both my phone and computer. Is there anything like that with a reasonable cost? Worse than no amp at all?

I would really prefer not to overspend too much on an amp. Spending nearly 50% of the cost of a headphone for an amp makes me leery. What makes the 7XX need a more powerful amp? Their impedance was not that high if I recall the box stats correctly.

From what I've read, it seems the older X-Fi series has better 3d audio so I think I'll keep my card for awhile longer. Is there really no amp for lower than $50? I recall seeing one by the name of topping go for around 35ish on Amazon but I was hopping for more options.

I've been looking for an appropriate amp for my newly acquired AKG 7XX. I'll be pairing it up with a x-fi titanium fatal1ty sound card so I believe I won't need a dac as I'll be needing the 3d surround from the sound card. Whats the best value I can get from an amp? Preferably one that is under...
