Recently purchased q1 mkii, and an OTG cable USB-C to Micro USB for use with my Note 8.
Sounds amazing! Paired with 6XX and a balanced cable, I've shown three friends and they were all floored.
My question is, how do I know it's correctly set up and not using my Note's DAC or AMP. I'm pretty positive it is bypassing the note8 DAC, as the output is going through USB, but I just want to make sure it's not double-amping both mkii and note8.
The volume control on my phone still controls the volume output, is this OK? What volume am I supposed to set it at if this is the case.
I also downloaded a test DSD track that's around 1.8gb but while playing through poweramp the DSD light on my mkii does not turn on, do only certain apps fully utilize the DSD quality format?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
