Good idea. I am expecting to receive my PDV2 in the next few days. I ordered that with the Y-splitter, so I'll give it a try.

That little power bank looks life it might be a good option.

I would like to see a picture of M0 + 9038S + power bank Frankenstein. That would be super interesting. Please share a photo with us if that works out for you.

Q: After installing HPToy app, it asks for location permission and storage permission. Why?
A:
Location permission has to be given in order for the Bluetooth LE to work (API26). E1DA does not want to know your location, don't worry.
Storage permission is needed for saving downloaded/adjusted preset onto local storage.
Both permissions have to be given in order to work.
GPS has to be ON during HPToy app operation to ensure normal app behavior.

hooked up the 9038s to the R3 this morning and nothing
R3 is set to audio out for USB
I used a USB A to USB C adaptor on the cable that came with the 9038s stick
Do I nee to connect a male USB A to USB C male on th eother female cable instead to hook it to the R3?

Weird as the PDV2 worked fine off of the R3's USB C port

i got the r3 and you have to set usb mode to .."DOCK" to make it work.. struggled some time till i got it running.

ONLY c to c will work.. adapter crap from C to less should not work and makes actually no sense too...
YOu can await 4,5 hours of music with the 9038s running with usb plugged into it..

with this you got a hiby R3 Ultra and can laugh at anyone that gets this Hiby Pro crap
i use it with my sundaras to go went shopping to aldi with claude debussy on my ears.. the most relaxing shopping music! And people around me dondt get offended because i would call them cultural savages if they say something to this great impressionistic classical music..

This setup is amazing. Was skeptical about the ipurifier3 but it really made a difference to my ears. Especially of getting rid of emi noise.

Rpi4 (Volumio) > ipurifier3 > pdv2

Thanks
looks good
I have one of those small c2c cables coming soon

I was going to see If I could run it off of something like a z3, acmee MF01 or QNGEE X2

nice! wish you look those things output omething USB usefull.
That small 9038s relly improves anything

Currently I use dedicated LG V30 as my music source - no phone use. I’m in the Apple camp for smartphone side of things.

I’m wondering how much audio improvement I can expect to gain by adding on the 9038S and using the V30 as a transport. Also battery impact as ideally I don’t want to start adding many external wires and devices to the V30.

Maybe someone with a V30 has tried this combo and can share their experiences.

For giggles, X Ray images:

9038S


PDV2.Probably the mirror surface screwed up the view of the internals.

Answer on behalf on a V30+9038S owner:

regarding the V30 question on Headfi, I'd say if the guy use V30 without turning the cellphone function,
1. SQ of music of course will be greatly enhanced by #9038.
2. It's near 3200mah battery capacity with be ample for several hours of music listening
when I paired my PDv2 with LG V20 (3200mah battery), I got at least three hours of listening time and that's which all other cellular and WiFi functions ON, taking calls and Whatsapp and what not.

So you have a V30 + 9038S setup already ?

Can you please go into a little more detail into areas such as soundstage, sub bass, detail etc

I would like know which particular areas benefit the most. Thanks

what if my amp has also the balanced option as connection to the source

Rpi4 (Volumio) > ipurifier3 > pdv2

maaaaan I've been on the fence about the ipurifier for pdv2, but I guess that settles it and will need to order one now. I noticed a difference when I swapped out generic usb cable for an audioquest one, so shouldn't be surprised that the ifi magic works here as well.
