First time I've heard of that. Have you tried them with a different source via the 3.5mm jack?

A specific scenario and questions. 1) Can I connect directly from my iPhone Lightning sock to the USB C connector to use this in DAC mode. 2) If connected like this, will the phone charge or at least power the Go Blu? 3) Does IFI provide a cable for this? 4) Can the Go Blu drive Sony Z7M2...

You sir, are completely hat stand!

Is there any news on a dragonfly with a 4.4mm connection?

Really? I was pretty happy with the Dragonfly Red. What didn’t you like about the Colbalt?

I rarely use it without an external battery or connected to the mains. I even looked at 3D printing a case to put a battery in (similar to phones). The usability problems are actually part of the reason I bought mine though. I like to go to sleep listening to music and having my phone in my...

Cool analysis. I’m assuming we can’t play the Apple Music streams through the Walkman App or UAPP?

Thanks for the fast reply. when you write ‘upscaled’ do you have any details on the source stream? Is it really 24/192? Too bad spatial isn’t working.

Are you able to do the same test on Apple Music for Lossless and Hi-res Lossless? Ifi recommend Coldplay X&Y as a test for their dacs.

You may be right, but Dolby does work in software and I thought it did work in Tidal.

I wish!

Pity it doesn't fix the lack of spatial with Apple Music

So the release version of Apple Music has just come out (I was on the beta) and whilst it has the higher bitrate streams it doesn't appear to have Dolby Atmos as an option to switch on and off. Kinda weird as it does sound as if it is working in the Marvin Gaye demo. Any ideas? BTW - Should...

That will teach me! Factory reset my 507 and now cannot redownload any version of apple music! Goes to the app beta page but has no download button :(

Upgraded to 1112 today. Still an issue on the first track a listen to. Then it seems to settle down.

3.6.0.beta (1111) Can the internal dac handle the highest quality from Apple Music?

Nope - problem came back, albeit temporarily. Do you have your settings at Lossless or Lossless 192? Maldonado, do you have Hi-Res Streaming switched on in the main settings?

I’ve made lots of changes to try and combat this. what’s intersecting is the problem seems most likely to occur if I’m downloading music in the background. seems to be a limitation on how much bandwidth Apple Music is allocated. I’ve got a 250Mbps connection to my home (way norenthann

Check my other posts. Not good news.

Got it on my 507. It's failing miserably. Flakey as can be!!! Tidal never had these problem d.

Just got the Apple Music beta up and running. Bad news! Very flakey. Lossless (regardless of settings) keeps dropping out and skipping. Unlistenable!!! Not sure if Apple or Sony need to do some work here.

That that was my general approach for a prototype too. after that I was going to 3D print a case around it.

I’ve never found one. I wish there were. I did look at building something if I could find a reasonable battery. To be honest, the vast majority of my listening I have my 507 attached to a battery. if I can build a prototype, the next step will be to 3D print something. It won’t be small...

Probably no worse or better than with an iPhone

Yup! Have them both and they sound great! M9 are great too.
