I've got a somewhat similar setup and love it too :beerchug:

Which makes sense; one has a passhtrough/charging port, the other does not.

Can also confirm this to be 100% true. Was about to write a long answer on the whole cck2/3 issue (as I've done a couple of times in this thread), but the above sums it up perfectly. I now use the CCK2 exclusively with my iPhoneX and a variety of headphones and IEMs (see sig), for hours at a...

No problem here. Updated my DFR to 1.07 when it came out, on my mac, via the audioquest utility.

No prob :smile_phones: Yeah, Apple's done a terrible job naming these things.

Well...they're both. The Apple CCK adapters are simply lightning to USB adapters. CCK2: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD821AM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter CCK3: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK0W2AM/A/lightning-to-usb-3-camera-adapter

This is my exact same experience as well with a DFR and a 6s+, SE, and X.

Sorry, I went straight from the 6s plus to the X, so I didn't try the 7 or 8.

Exact same experiences here; had clicks and pops with my iPhone 6s plus and the CCK2 on iOS 11, so I switched to the CCK3 with it. When I moved to the X I was happy to see that the CCK2 was working again. Never had a problem with any version of iOS 11.

Just tried Spotify with DFR and CCK2 on my iPhone X running 11.4. I have True Tone disabled and no problems, so confirming @Colors observation as well.

The two sound the same to me on both an iPhone 6s+ and X with iOS 11. I think their recommendation was, as you mentioned, to solve the pops and clicks problem. On the iPhone X with the older adapter I no longer have pops and clicks (I did with the older adapter and the 6s+ with iOS 11). However...

No problem here, but others have reported the same problem you describe and other issues as well. So...no consensus, and no obvious culprit either.

One of us! One of us!

Same.

Yeah, when you plug in the CCK2/3, if a firmware update is available, iOS will pop up an alert offering you the chance to upgrade or cancel. If you cancel, the popup will keep appearing every time you plug the CCK back in. So, if you don't get a popup, it means you're on the latest firmware.

There have been mixed reports earlier in the thread. I had the clicks and pops issue with the DFR and CCK2 on my iPhone 6s+. I don't have the problem with the iPhone X. Can use the DFR and CCK2 for hours at a time, no problem at all. Silver iPhone X, 256GB, T-Mobile version. Latest version of...

No difference for me on an iPhone X running latest iOS with both CCK2/3 and SE846/Westone W80.

Heresy! What kind of an audiophoolphile are you! Spend that money! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Oh weird. I don't use iTunes (or music or whatever the hell the built in music player is now called), but a bunch of streaming services and alternative players. wifi/cell/lock status/etc. all...

I think you're right, because I had the same problem with a 6s+ and CCK2. I'm now using an iPhone X, and the CCK2 works fine with a DFR, no crackling or issues at all, full 96k resolution (magenta butterfly). It's nice to be able to use the smaller connector again.

Thanks Jason!

Ahh, thanks. Don't know how I missed that video!

Does anyone (Jason maybe?) know if this is made overseas like the RS100, or if it's made in the US? I'm guessing the former. There's no mention in any of the literature, and I can't find a single picture of the back of the device where such information might be indicated.

I got mine on Amazon from Hidef Lifestyle. They're an authorized vendor according to the AQ site. If you want to order from Amazon, just check the dealer against AQ's official reseller list.

  In reference to the Lavricable CCK replacement cable, mine arrived this morning, and after extensive testing I have found that sadly it does not.   iPhone 6s+, iOS 10.3.1, sim-free model (on T-Mobile), 128GB, non-jailbroken. Tested locally-stored music via Cesium and streaming Tidal HiFi...

  I'm on 10.3.1 (iPhone 6S+) and my CCK2 A1440 also works fine (well, other than the occasional clicks and pops problem some of us experience, which is why I switched to the CCK3).
