I found that it is pretty quick with the USB-C cable via a USB 3.x port. Unfortunately, file transfer speeds are often limited at the MicroSDXC end of things. ~Ex

With the sound profile set up through the app, I thought it sounded different than wired. Not sure if it sounded "better," just different. I wasn't really taken with it wired or wireless, so I ended up returning them. ~Ex

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get used to the sound, as they say. I ended up sending them back. I didn't want to fuss with spending another $50+ on new pads in an attempt to improve the sound to my liking. Not a big deal, as there are lots of people who really like them, and other options for...

I received my Amiron Wireless headphones yesterday and I gave them a listen last night. They are very quiet and the sound seems thin. I used AAC from my iPhone Xs, AptX-HD from my Fiio M11, and a wired connection to both, and the sound wasn't that impressive at all. I found that I was listening...

@CortoLmaltese I'll be following this with much interest. I don't have a Dragonfly, but I do use an HTC 10 and iPhone Xs for some listening, as well as my Pioneer 300R and a Fiio M11. I'm curious to see if your thoughts, in the end, match my own. ~Ex

Please, do keep us posted. ~Ex

Also, LG doesn't have the marketing budget or brand recognition of Samsung or Apple. In addition, the LG V series wasn't necessarily marketed to the audiophile community, as it was touted as a multi-media device with excellent cameras, video capabilities, AND audio capabilities, but in terms of...

Just to note, that is exactly what the iPhone is/was. An iPod Touch with phone capabilities. Now it may not be up to snuff with $1,000+ Mid-to-High End DAPs, but it clearly filled a niche in the market and became THE defacto standard in the industry. And back then, they were a small company...

My mistake. Reading some reviews, I saw Micro-USB mentioned a few times. Thanks for the info!

Not exactly, as the "Copper" version allegedly offers USB-C charging vs Micro USB charging of the original. A very useful update, IMO, and it encouraged me to take the plunge. ~Ex

There is a repair shop in HK (Romi Audio) that is discussed in the Onkyo DP-X1 thread that may be able to repair it (and upgrade it) as the players are nigh identical. Post back up and let us know what they say. ~Ex

No, my car doesn't allow me to control the player via the wheel, but I purchased this player specifically due to the physical buttons on the side. They all have a different feel so it is easy to navigate while never taking my eyes off of the road. If I had to look at the player to use it, I...

I have had no issues with my 300R connected to my PC. I have been using Drag-n-Drop without issue since I got the device in June. I do keep the device awake while transferring files, though. I had issues with older Android phones not keeping the connection open when the display turned off (Ca...

I regularly get 16-18h of listening time in a week between charges with my 300R. When I picked up the device, I did playback tests and managed ~18h of continual playback after disabling most of the background services on the device. Much less if the screen is on a lot. I don't stream, and I only...

I didn't notice a difference in sound quality, just volume when switching from 2.5mm to 3.5mm on the same IEM (Fiio F9). ~Ex

I believe that is by design, having 160 volume steps means a lot of granular control, but it also means a lot more spinning for large volume changes. ~Ex

Mine comes with a bit of effort; exactly how I want it. I can slide my player in an out as needed (for thorough cleaning). No problems at all. I will say that the volume wheel is the source for most of the resistance in my case. ~Ex

Then I stand corrected. I was just stating what everyone else has concluded on many other threads regarding MQA playback on mobile.

I don't stream audio, so I can't really help there. But I can tell you that Tidal's android app doesn't support MQA yet, however people here have stated that their desktop app does stream MQA. For once, the hardware is ahead of the software. Once MQA goes live for streaming, the Pioneer should...

For your sensitive IEMs, lower the Gain to Low or Low 2. That should lower the noise floor and help with the hiss. And as far as variable output, it is, to my understanding, exclusive to the European models because of the volume cap in place. I don't believe any other region implements the...

As a long time lurker, and mid-fi music lover, I imported the 300R a few months back, and have been enjoying it immensely. I find it unusual how different the threads are for this vs the X1/A, and that there is far less activity here. I am trying to find out where this player sits in the scheme...
