The fact that our phones are powered by internal battery does not mean those can not be powered via the charging port… My supposition is the following (@FiiO please confirm/infirm): PC mode: internal components powered by USB power, charging disabled (desktop mode) BT mode: internal components...

Yes, we hear (read) a lot of complains, because those that are happy (not only with IE600, but by design 🙂) are just enjoying the music, inserted of worrying or complaining about bad fit, useless tips, rigid ear-hooks, microphonic cable… They acquired IE600, somehow expecting those not to be...

Hmmm, we know M15, M11 PRO SS and FA9 were scheduled to be released before end of year, but what are we missing?! M15 PRO maybe?

The DAC in your source is not used while streaming to BT IEMs/headphones. Digital to analog conversion is handled by the DAC in your IEMs/headphones. As long as you’re using the same BT codec, audio quality depends only on your IEMs/headphones and source audio file. So, considering the above...
