The last driver update so far was 5/25. DW75's supplied a link above. https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/downlist/id/11.html

SQ is most important and second is how comfortable it is to sleep with it and not fall out. The FH3 is perfect for my ears.

FooBar2000 with Foo_dsd_asio seems to be one of the few options for sending DSD direct to an external DAC without converting to PCM first. At least that's the best option I've been able to come up with, for Windows 10 at no cost. FooBar also addresses .cue sheets and properly shows tracks in...

Item as described, well packaged and a pleasant transaction. Thank you

I have an RME ADI-2 Pro on the 'wish list' to record directly to DSD.

I bought a decent external DAC that uses USB or optical and could quickly switch between the two. There were noticeable differences with the most noticeable being the smaller soundstage with USB. With my motherboard the SPDIF only works if I have the builtin soundcard turned on in the bios...

Why doesn't anyone mention LiveXLive (previously Slacker)? It has been around forever, is/was stock with Tesla, Porsche and about 3k hotels and even billable through T-Mobile. Three different monthly plans at 320k, free/3.99/9.99. Live events, videos, curated stations that are tune-able to...

Auto-EQ has a 128 band peq profile for the Deva from both Crinacle and Oratory1990. Update: It seems to be gone. There are many eq settings still available for different configurations.

I'm not sure which version I have but I believe it to be V2 since it has one button. There was a sticker on it with a manufacturing date of 12/20. No drivers were needed for Windows 10/7 and it was fully compatible with all the Linux distros I tried. I doubt a driver is necessary for V1 but...

IMO, it's Bluemini>Q5K>BTR5. It's good to have two BT options for charging. If I was only using the Deva, I'd buy two Bluemini's. Otherwise it's good to have a Bluemini and the Q5K available for other headphones/IEMs. The BTR5 does not have the power and a PEQ that works with LDAC. I...

Great seller, above and beyond. Item as described, quick shipping and excellent communications.

I'm glad to see that you bought the 5k as well. I didn't bother to measure the output since you completed the battery mod and I knew there was no way the 5k would come close. I agree the range is much much better with the 5k. Adding a battery pack to the 5k should be a snap. Crinacle's and...

The battery mod sounds like a must for you. My usual daily drivers are the Deva/Bluemini/5k/HA balanced cable during the day and a set of FH3s/balanced cable at night using the 5K. The Deva will not come close to 10hrs on either using the Bluemini or the 5K, with the 5K at low levels on low...

Battery life never really bothered me since I switch off between DAs, probably close to the same. I think a 1" piece of velcro would be way more than enough to hold the 5K securely. When both DAs are eq'd for Harman settings, it's difficult to hear a difference. Neither one colors the sound...

Earlier in this thread someone expressed their concern of breaking or losing the Bluemini and HiFiman customer support responded immediately with "call we will work something out" or something similiar.

After briefly having the Fiio BTR5 and now enjoying the Qudelix 5K, for my use the Bluemini is still on top. The additional features of the BTR5 and 5K are nice but the Bluemini sounds great and has better range with the 33' aptX HD transmitter. When in Windows it switches back and forth from...

I returned the BTR5 and am ordering the Qudelix 5k, the specs show it to be a little stronger than the BTR5 w/wo a balanced cable. Qudelix site has a spreadsheet for the output with the Sundara going up to 117db with a balanced cable. I enjoy listening to music uncompressed and eq'd to...

Thank you, i will check it out. The Bluemini is fine 97% of the time but you can't buy them separately and I would like to upgrade to Sundara's where I'm going to have the same problem. I'm gonna try the qudelix 5k with a balanced cable and if it isn't good enough I'll get the q5s. I checked...

Is there a recommendation for a more powerful portable bluetooth dac amp than the BTR5 for the Deva? The Bluemini has significantly more output than the Fiio BTR5. I was going to buy the Quedelics 5K but sure enough Amazon sold out of them and even that is marginally stronger, I bought a BTR5...

I get the loud pops and scratchiness with the blue mini from excessive cpu usage and/or on the edge of the bluetooth range with aptX HD and practically never with aptX Classic. The FiiO BTA30 is a must to get the best out of the Bluemini. I tried a BT5 aptX HD transmitter from Kingfone off of...
