    Sony Xperia mk II or Asus ROG 5?

    Does anyone know which phone has better sound quality? I do not need a lot of power, as I'm using IEMS (EE Legend X). I've come across mixed information about Sony here, and very little about ROG 5. Thank you :)

    When I connect to an audio jack of a stereo set does it go through the internal DAC ?

    My Sony Hi Fi system does not support hi resolution Audio through the usb port. So, when I connect a hi res audio source to the audio input jack of the Sony Hi Fi system does it get further processed in the internal DAC or does it directly go to the Amplifier section ? Does the audio quality...

    I recently got some 4.4mm balanced cables for my Campfire Audio Solaris 2020 and Focal Elear to use with the Sony WM1A, and noticed that the volume is the same from the single-ended output (using a 3.5mm to 4.4mm adapter) and the balanced output.

    Is it possible to convert 4.4MM TRRS (Balanced, for Sony DAPs) to normal 3.5mm with an adapter?

    I like to use my IEMs sometimes with different sources other than the Sony Dap. Swapping the cables all of the time is a lot of work and probably can't be good for the good connections on the IEMs. Is there any easy way to get a simple adapter that could convert it to 3.5mm? Thanks
