Thanks for the Teardrop hint. I was getting crazy trying to find out what are you speaking about. Well, comically boosted meant to me the same that to @mainguy. Didnt even notice until I a/b tested Teardrop. Still to my ears is very subtle, but I can imagine why can bother some people. Anyway I...

I am on an Xperia 1 ii, have the PI7 since a bit and I cannot be happier. ANC for me does not change even a little the sound. And I would be happy if that would happen because I love to tune the bass up. Mine sound great and I cannot be happier. Still have some minor issues fixable with an...

Of course I agree... But I don't think the problem is in the PI7, I have tried all the supported codecs available in the PI7 directly from Linux, trying also different profiles and I had no problem at all, even changing them on the fly during playback. Also with my DAP it is connecting with...

Well actually Android does not let you use APTX-HD, but APTX Adaptative that is the improvement of Qualcomm to the aptx-hd. Aptx Adaptative is a revision of Aptx-HD of Qualcomm from 2018, and it is actually compatible with aptxhd and aptx. Which actually makes sense as it allows also 24bits @...

Yes it is supported

well, grats. Just a couple of tips: * Try out the app "USB Audio Player Pro" and in the config set it with the HiRes Audio Driver, then in the "Internal HiRes Driver audio" settings, check the "Use with Bluetooth output". And do not activate the "Dolby Audio" plugin of the xperia. You will get...

better would be if they would implement LDAC, but I guess that would be too much to ask for :D. It is not going to be a cheap change. But yeah, I am very happy with my xperia. I still wonder why you have such a low performance with AAC, if it would be SBC at least... . I think I am going to...

Battery life is about the 4 hours advertised. Please read the posts of other users in the forum, many have had different issues regarding the battery of the PI7. For me is in between 3h to 4h, depending also on calls, but i have had them for few days so I have to test them more to get some...

I have an xperia 1 ii and I am very impressed with the sound, I like it better than with the case, I guess you tried the jack to usb-c. I guess the DAC in the case does a better signal translation before pushing it through bluetooth. I am waiting the spinfit that everyone here has been talking...

APTX - Low Latency if you use your jack to USB-C cable and in the specs of qualcomm it gives you 40ms latency. I tried it and it is quite ok.

Hi, I'm not sure anymore. I should have taken an screenshot, I was gonna answer you and wanted to take a couple of screenshots of the app showing the codec in use but didn't appear Aptx-HD anymore using USB-C. I will edit it in the previous post so it won't be misleading... And I'll try to test...

Well, some notes: Case with Jack-to-usb-c: APTX - Low Latency EDIT: retested Case USB-C to USB-C: it seems it is only APTX, i will retest this because in previous attempts I thought it could use different codecs. Linux detects it as Digital SPDIF output. Bluetooth: Smartphone - APTX Adaptative...

You should be able to change the Bluetooth codec in the developer options of your S10+. I will try to test more connectivity tomorrow, also with the case, and I will try to give you an answer.

The main codec used in the PI7 is Aptx Adaptative. If Aptx Adaptative is available in the transmitter, it will use that one. If the music players "only" supports Aptx HD, Aptx Adaptative is compatible backwards with Aptx and Aptx HD, so the PI7 is able to use them as well. For Qualcomm, Aptx...

Hi everyone, just registered here to collaborate with this thread as I don't think many people own these and some impressions will help others to decide. I read first about the PI7 in reddit, then of course I looked for the proper thread on head-fi to see some opinions about it I do that always...
