Hi everyone, May I know when I'm charging my sp2000 and listen music together, I can here some electrical noise like"zip zip", escapically when I touch the screen to select music, the noise becomes louder, wonder it's normal or not? Thank you.
It might have rubish wifi connection and buggy sideoaded apps. But when it comes to RFI and background noise, i have never heard a cleaner dap. This isthe first thing that i noticed when bought sp2000.

So i would say its faulty. Especially it happenes when you touch the screen. Otherwise i would suggest checking cable.

Thank you for your reply. Seems my dap's abnormal. Yap, especially I touch the screen, the "zipzip" noise is prominent. I am using the ak's original cable, I try other cable first.

Thank you for your reply. I am using an old apple charger seems no ground!! Seems all of my charger is 2 pin or with a dummy pin. Not sure will a portable charger works well for sp2000.
Skip the Apple charger and use another. My iPad charger has a humming problem that I can feel even when charging my iPad.
I am using a Samsung phone charger and works perfectly quiet.

As far as TOTL Iems go
Noble, EE, 64.... is there anyone else in the mix?
+ Vision Ears, Rhapsodio, and Oriolus (as mentioned) that are quite popular too

Have an SP2k coming later this week, looking to hear the cream of the crop for portable DAPs🍻

There’s also Campfire Audio. The andromeda 2020 play very well with the sp2k

With the Trailii (I assume you have the effect Audio or a 4.4mm balanced adapter for the SP2K) … you’re in for a good time.

Short of silly territory or R2R DAP’s … there are not many desktop / full sized solutions as good as the SP2K with Trailii.

Will the adapter really bottleneck? I temporarily bought the ddHifi 2.5 to 4.4 because the SP2k is to test if it will stay rather than an outright commitment. If the tonality is excellent (I’ve heard both sides in regards to Traillii), then I’ll happily upgrade to EA or PwA’s pricier adapters.

Dd is still a good option for on the go and does the job, but for home listening if the 4.4 cable is a 4 figure number PW is the way to go for dedicated connector
Sounds good, thanks

@JasonNYC news on apple music on SP2000 being fixed yet ?
Nothing new about the v3.5.0 issues yet. If you are looking for Apple Lossless, Apple still has not released a new Apple Music Android app that supports lossless and hi-res on Android devices. I read a few articles last week that Apple "quietly" decided not to support lossless in Android-based devices, but just rumors at this point.
