Hi @dmitrykos big fan of your app. I would hit a tip jar for $5 if I could return to the song list by swiping down from the Now Playing screen.

Hi all (including @dmitrykos),
Forgive my ignorance as to how the finer tech details of this app works, but how do i know when using this on my Note 9 in conjunction with my FiiO Q5, connected via USB-C, that the phone is sending the audio purely as digital to the dac, and not already converting it using the inbuilt Samsung dac? Sorry if this should be blatantly obvious, but I'm learning all the time...

@Steve Guppy , if it's connected by usb-c it is being sent digitally to the Q5. Try to play a few different files of differing sample rates and see if your Fiio Q5 adapts (changes to follow) those source frequencies. IE if you're paying a 44.1 file, see if Q5 indicates 44.1. If you're playing 48khz file, see if it changes on the Fiio to 48, etc.

If you're playing either 44.1 or 48 and the fiio indicates it's 192khz, you have sample rate conversion going on (which is not desirable).

@dmitrykos

thanks for a great App. Is it possible to play Coaxial out on the Dx200 using your App. If so what settings do I need to change in order to make it happen ?
Many thanks

Thanks, i knew the answer would be obvious, I was having a 'moment' there! :) I tried what you said and it did indeed change, plus the driver section of the audio hardware section says it's using the Q5. Thank you so much for your help.

In need of a little help. As you can see from the attached photo, i have my iem's connected up 'properly', but when i have the balance slider fully to the left, all the sound comes from the right ear piece, and vice versa. Shouldn't that be the other way round? Or could it be my cable is labelled up wrong?

Simple. Switch the connections.

It should be a task of firmware to redirect data to this path. This scenario was never tested, will try to query iBasso about it.

Does Mango player output via SPDIF? Do you get silence with Neutron?

Would you please send e-mail to neutronmp@gmail.com.

That seems like the obvious option, but i tried a different cable, and it was exactly the same. And I'm a bit ocd with L (blue) being left and R (red) being right. What's switching the channels? Neutron or my Q5?

I just wanted to apologise to anyone who read my previous posts, and thinks i'm a complete moron. I had the reverse stereo menu ticked for whatever ham-fisted reason.... :-|
On the plus side, I'm trying a 16 core copper cable from ISN Audio that i got from Penon through AliExpress on the 11/11 sale (saved myself £15 on 2 cables), and i have to say, so far, so good. A little chunky, but soft and not as heavy as it looks.

Sorry, what I mean switch/invert the cable connections in your IEM. The cable you have inserted in the R iem insert it to L iem and vice versa.
