Thank you!
I'm curious about the SQ difference between 3.5 and 3.5 TRRS, if you've got necessary equipment, of course.

@tonymcross - There should be no differences if using 3.5mm TRS or TRRS, and this is because the whole point of having S-Balanced in the first place was to get a Balanced performance in Single Ended mode. I actually do not have the cables necesary to test, but ifi themselves write in their papers that the whole point of this connection was to never "need" balanced cables for their DAC/AMPs

Hi Dobrescu, thanks for your review! I'm very curious regarding the comparison with the EarMen TR-Amp. You mention in the review that the EarMen gets louder with lower distortion - would you mind sharing if this in comparison to the hip-dac's 4.4mm balanced output, or to its single-ended output? Which headphones/IEMs did you notice this difference with? Thanks!

On a separate note, have you tried the 5.3c firmware with the GTO filter?
