Update on volume issue w/ Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apparently, the culprit was in the headphone safety setting. There is a setting to limit volume to a certain dB to hinder user from a damaging loud volume. I set it on since the early times the setting exist and seldom look at it again. After...

On level 0, it will be no output. On level 16 (max), it will be the lowest output. The output is decreasing consistantly when I increase the phone vol from 1 to 2 and so on. FYI, Iphones only have 16 levels of vol. So, I simply set my phone’s vol on 1 and then adjust the RU7 for the volume I...

Anyone experiencing level 1 volume of iphone 15 pro max is the loudest output w/ RU7? Rising the volume on iphone resulted in decreasing output volume, weird right? I did not experience this w/ my former phone, 13 pro max

Are you implying that LP made somekind of nonstandardized implementation of MFi to their cables in order to be compatible w/ idevices and avoid paying Apple for the MFi certification at the same time?

Thank you for the idea to try other dongles w/ LP L2C. I found that using it, my M15, RU6, & RU7 turned on & iPhone recognized them.. but there is no sound at all. No distortion, nothing. Iphone could playback any song, indicated by the progress bar & the timer, & those dongles showed indicator...

I was going to try the compatibility of 3rd party cables for iPhone. I used one from hidizs. It did not work before and still not work now. The display was blinking & corrupted. But now, swapping to the orig LP cable, it does not work either w/ same behavior. So, now I cannot use W4 on iPhone...

w/ Blessing 3 + single ended + PCM, W4 w/ normal SDF is not better than RU7. While W4 is more natural & RU7 a little warm, anything else is on par. That said, W4 is not worth the price it asks.. lol

w/ IE800S + balanced + PCM, W4 (w/ or w/o its SDF) is not better than RU6 + IE800S + balanced/single ended + PCM/DSD. The bass is overwhelming me. That said, the experience w/ IE800S is not worth the price W4 asks

Somehow I enjoy IE900 more w/ the new dig filter. More open, more airy, and more details in highs. Better layering also. W4 + IE900 + balanced + PCM is the only combo that worth the price.

The DSD playback still suffers severe distortion, on single ended & balanced.

Another shameful reason for a product in the price range.. lol

I do

Now I see, thanks. But, I only wish that all host devices behave like AK, not modifying, ie. maxing out, the data transmitted based on uac type of the slaves attached to them. OR.. LP COULD MAKE W4 SHOWS THE REAL BIT OF THE FILE, NOT THE MODIFIED ONE MADE BY THE HOST TO COMPLY THE UAC TYPE SET...

That said, I think that it shows not the bitdepth it provides, depends on the uac type, but the response from the transport.

I am aware of that. But how can you explain that it shows the correct real bitrate from AK25MKII? That DAP is also based on android.

24 all the time when on uac 1.0 & 32 on 2.0 regardless the real bitrate of files played. I do not have 32 bit files. Most of my files are 16 & 24 in much less..

Well, still showing incorrect bitrate on androids & iOS. The clicking noise on single ended when tracks changing persists. Cannot confirm whether the dsd playback has or has not been fixed, my files are not accessible for now

Apparently the single ended is quite buggy. Beside the clicks on every changing tracks, the dsd playback also suffers clicking distortion. Quite a shame for a product at the price range

Dude, it did not explain why it shows the correct one w/ AK25MKII. I think it was a different problem than this

Thus, the only correct bitrate display is from my AK25MKII

On iOS also, apparently

Wishing they fix the wrong bitrate display on some androids

I bought the iphone early this month and just realized that whenever I play itunes-purchased aac or mp3 using the lightning earpods or lightning-to-3.5 adapter, the sample rate output is upsampled to 48 KHz. Confirmed by Onkyo HF Player & VOX, btw. No settings made any different. But, using DAC...
