    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    I received my 2go last week, and been using it with Roon, DLNA, and MPD. So far its a decent experience, but one of the issues I've run into is MPD isn't able to pickup all of the music on the sdcard. Its finding 1/3 of the music files, compared to DLNA which is picking up everything. I'm...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I'm not a critical listener, but i recently purchased the Hugo 2 and had a zmf pendant amp for VC headphone, and pairing sounds pretty good to me. Comparing SMSL D1 -> Pendant vs Hugo 2 -> Pendant there seemed to be something different to the sound, but I'm not really sure. Ether way I liked...

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    I can confirm the USB noise in the FiiO Music app on my Sony Xperia X Compact. If I play music from USB Audio Player PRO via there USB driver I do not get the same noise. Initial I though my music was converted badly. Maybe you can confirm this as well.

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    So they have both FiiO.com and FiiO.net, which have become out of sync. Got it. Maybe they could just redirect .net to .com and just have one site to update.

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    Is FiiO planning on adding the Q5s onto its website product page? It’s getting close to a month since I’ve purchased the unit, and the product page still doesn’t exist, unless the Q5s will be part of the Q5 product page?

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    FiiO support was able to help me with connecting to iOS device via Bluetooth. Requires to hold the Play/Pause button for 5-seconds (which will cause the Q5s to alternate blue/red flashing). iOS device should see a Q5 device to pair with in the iOS Bluetooth settings menu. Once connected the FiiO...

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    Moving the headphone head side-to-side, where the metal on metal would rub against one another making the squeaking sound.

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    Anyone run into problems with squeaky adjustment slider on both sides of the headphone? Just watched Zack's latest youtube video over "General Cleaning the wood cups and gimbals". Wondering if some WD-40 would be fine with correcting the squeaky-ness.

    I ordered the Michanikos, and enjoy them from pure aesthetic/construction prespective. Cannot tell a difference in sound quality.

    Looks like the older Q5 required a desktop to update the firmware: http://fiio-file.fiio.net/Instruction_of_Upgrading_the_Q5_System_Firmware.pdf

    I just sent an email to FiiO as well with regards to the Bluetooth issue with iOS.

    Sounds more like software bug than hardware, since you indicate that depending on the format of audio causes this issue.

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    Yeah, I think heat is normal for FiiO DAPs in general (X5 III has the same characteristic). Not too worried about it.

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    I would take what I say with grain of salt since I just started this audio journey last December when I pre-ordered my first big dollar headphone (ZMF Aeolus). I'm still learning the differences between warm, and neutral sound. I agree that the D1 has great measurements, and sounds good. The...

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    Yeah, I purchased it through Drop back in February. I like it, but I can't really tell much of a difference between it, and the Topping DX7s . It runs hot, so can't have it running all the time, and missing a physical power button, so have to use a remote even though its on the desk (correction...

    [FiiO Q5s Type C ‖ Q5s] Bluetooth DSD-capable Amplifier,AK4493x2,768k/32bit

    I’m running into issues with the iOS Bluetooth functionality on the Q5s as well. It shows it’s off from Bluetooth control menu, but iOS says it is connected audio just plays though phone speaker. Not having any issues with Android Bluetooth thought (Xperia X compact). Maybe FiiO is aware of the...

    ZMF Aeolus Impressions thread

    Understandably, I was influenced buying (or started researching ZMF) via Z-reviews, which could have cause the surge in purchases at that time.

    FIIO X5iii - What battery life are you getting?

    I just purchased the x5iii this week, and so far I've only used music mode. Battery life has been around 7 hours for 50% battery usage. Bluetooth was enabled and connected to my Sony headphones. If you use the screen very little I think it should be very easy to get more than 10 hours.
