How can I find out what codec is used when listening on Sony Xperia Z5 Dual (E6633) with A&K XB10? I have android 7 and the phone won't get android 8.

Bluewave team sent me this email on thursday: Hi Roman, We may still have the special pre-launch price, but we’ve already started to ship the first pre-orders. Unfortunately, we do have a lot of them to fill and the waiting time before shipping is currently of about a month. Very sorry about...

Thank your the comparison. I was hasitating between bluwave and A&K but finally I choosed XB10 and I'm happy for my decision. I will receive it on monday. I hope it will sound great with my 50-ohm Shure 1540.

Can anyone compare the Bluewave Get to Astell&Kern XB10?

I read from more sources that there is not audiable difference between headphones connected directly to the iphone or using the BTR1. But I read that XB10 makes audiable difference. BTR1 doesn't have AAC in comparison to XB10 so I'm not sure if this is the reason. With BTR1 I think iPhone use...

So there is big SQ diffference between E3 and XB10 using apt-x. Do you know anything about FiiO BTR1? It has apt-X as well. I listen music only from spotify. Not sure if there is big difference as well. I have Shure 1540 headphones.

What streaming device do you use? Or what codec? The aptX HD? Is there any difference when it comes to aptX? I mean the E3 and XB10.

I'm looking for a good bluetooth receiver for my over-ear headphones (Shure 1540). These are what I found: - FiiO BRT1 (SBC, apt-x) - Creative Sound Blaster E3 (SBC, AAC, apt-x) - Astell&Kern XB10 (SBC, ACC, apt-x, apt-x HD) I use android phone Sony Z5 with Bluetooth 4.1 and apt-X and Sony...

Hello guys. I need help with choosing the best receiver. I want to create wireless headphones from my Shure 1540. I will attache the small bluetooth receiver to the headphone bridge, add a wireless charger and print the stand on my 3D printer. But I'm not sure which receiver to buy. I don't...

Last 2 notes:   When I disconnect the Cozoy and connect and then tap on "Search USB devices", it detects the device all the time. No error message.   The battery draining is really noticable. When I listen to music using Cozoy, I have only 6-8 hours.

After a week of testing it, I still cannot hear any difference. So I visited a shop specialized on audio (lots of hearphones, aplifiers, hi-fi systems and so on). I tried Chord Mojo with my phone. No difference. I tried a big hifi system (for approx $3.000) and again no differenc. I used all the...

I visited a local shop specialized on audio to try Chord Mojo with my Sony Z5 (Dual-Sim) yesterday. I couldn't hear any difference in sound quality. I tried it with Shure 1540 headphones. I use Tidal, Spotify, MP3 320kbps and some lossless flacs which gave me the shop assistant because he told...

Ok. I am going to try it in a local shop and I'm very curious.

Thanks for that. I saw the review couple days ago. Helpful. Do you think I will hear the difference Cozoy Aegis vs Mojo?

Ok, I may have misunderstood it. It was from this discussion http://www.head-fi.org/t/789009/chord-mojo-vs-ifi-micro-idsd-vs-m9xx-optional-vs-audeze-deckard-lcd-3-or-sony-xba-z5. So do you mean there is no differenc as for Chord Mojo vs iFi micro iDSD?

Is Chord Mojo suitable for Shure 1540 or is it better to use iFi Micro iDSD? I have portable Cozoy Aegis but I can't hear any difference comparing Sony Z5 headphones output. And it really drains phone's battery. So I consider something with built-in battery. I read somewhere iFi Micro iDSD is...

Ok, just arrived so here are my experiences. It works very well. But I have 2 problems:   1. The sound is clear. But when I stop the player I can hear a kind of cracking. I do not care if I can't hear it in music. Just listening some piano songs and no cracking :)   2. When I disconnect the...

Hello,   do anyone know if I can use DAC/amp with my Sony Z5? How can I find out if it is supported or not? I ordered Cozoy Aegis DAC/amp and I have Sony Xperia Z5 dual-sim. I read somewhere not all lollipop devices support.   Thanks.

  Is the E18 comparable to Chor Mojo? It is $150 vs $400.

But I do not want to have big device and carry about charging both of them. I dont listen hours a day. Only one, max two. I think I can live with that. But when I saw the solution with velcro I opened to this solution as wall. But I prefer the small device.

Good idea. Thanks again :)

Good idea. Thanks again :)

Do you have special case for the phone and the FiiO that it is sticked together?

Thank you for the recommendation. New information for me that the amp is important equally or more than DAC. I thought that when the headphone volume from the smartphone is ok, no need to have extra amp. So I need DAC+amp in one device. I do not want two devices. And the FiiO  E18 si too big for...

Hello, I'm totally new here at this forum and in audiophile sphere. I have a favour to ask you.    I want good portable system for listening music. Because I do not know how the music should sound I want something really good to be a reference for me. I have Audio-Technica ATH-M50x but I feel...
