Yes. It's just how Google made their API.

1) Does this mean the GPS location of an Android DAP can be tracked even if the owner doesn't like to be tracked as and when he turns on its Bluetooth?

2) If yes, the same thing holds true with non-Android DAPs like Sony 1A/1Z or Android-based UI DAPs like A&K SP2000 or Cayin N8 too?

3) Is there a GPS chip inside every DAP that can be remotely accessed and tracked by those who can?

I have to interject: I hope someone is tracking you so we can at last determine where the hell Atlantis was all this time.

Right next to "behind a mask" that you seem to be from.

1) No. If the app tracks you when NOT necessary (e.g. when using bluetooth) it won't be published on the Play Store-
2) No. This is an android thing
3) No.

Tracking without the user consent and without a reason is 1) illegal 2) against the TOS of the PlayStore.

Any information on the HifiToy from E1DA? Also I am very interested in getting the 9038sG3 despite it only being balanced output but it's fine for me. I am also torn between the Serenade iDSD and 9038sG3 and speaking of the Serenade I was thinking of getting the iDSD Plus (same as DH1000 because they are literally the same thing with different branding) but apparently the iDSD Plus is meh for not-easy-to-drive headphones.

 

[528068]

Anybody compared 9038sg3 to the Hidizs DH1000/Tempotec-iDSD-Plus (both are the same internals with same firmware, only different is literally the branding and price)? Been looking for any info on this and still haven't found anything. 9038sg3 is really good not just for its price but regardless of price seems to be really good still by measurements and reviews and same for the iDSD Plus but not measurements though. the iDSD Plus uses dual amp dac for "true balanced" and use crystal oscillators too.

All one can say is that E1DA 9038D is a marvel, and is likely superior to DC03, SHDP, and other dongles.

So you already have it for some days for testing?
otherwise, your comment is ...

It happens that each person will see any product differently.
A glance over the detailed diagrams and measurements led me to such a judgement, but I do not have any experience of listening to the device.

Perhaps iBasso's '100 times re-tuning' has led to an enjoyable sound, but my above statement considers measurements only.
Real-world performance under load obviously differs wildly.

Sounds better E1DA 9038S Gen 3 or PowerDac V2?

And can anyone make a comparison regarding the sound quality with the Fiio BTR5 - both bluetooth and wired - and maybe even with Tempotec Sonata HD Pro?

The 9038S Gen 3 is cleaner and more analytical compared to the PowerDAC V2 which is somewhat more musical and a bit warmer without sacrificing too much detail. If you have neutral headphones, I would go for the PowerDAC V2. But you really can't go wrong with either.

Well i have wrote this one page ago.. sometimes its easy to check whats already written to find the answer

Krassi said:
Staticv3 from the discord compared it pretty good and that was with the 9038s G2

PDv2: smooth, forgiving, slightly warm/vintage but you can change the sound to whatever you want
9038S(g2): clean, modern, razor-sharp, incredibly detailed even with EQ,

the PDv2 will never sound as detailed as the 9038S but the PDv2 can make only ok sounding headphones sound great. The 9038S cannot.

The 9038D has been on Aliexpress for some time now. Any owners who can share their opinion?
I'd be very grateful
