So, my Meenova Cable arrived today. It works fine, but sometimes after I have connected it to the iPhone and put the button to DAC and start the music, then the music comes from the iPhone speakers. Then I have to pull the cable out of the iPhone an replug it. Then it always works fine. Another difference to the hidizs OTG Adapter, that I also use, is that after connecting with the adapter on the Display of the iPhone appears that this accessory requires too much power. This notification disappears immediately when I put the button to DAC. With the Meenova Cable tis notification does not appear.

Generally I have to put it in DAC mode before connecting with apple's camera adapters and then it works fine. If I switch while connected it will draw too much current for a short moment.So, my Meenova Cable arrived today.

Hoping to have my Bathys Thursday having auditioned it yesterday, for me the wait for the arrival of a great sounding wireless can has felt very long indeed.

Damn I feel I’m feeling in love with bathys. The more I listen to them the more I leave px8 on the desk… will be a revealing weekend for me to decide. But I guess I I’ve already decided….
Most expensive mistake I made was testing the Stellia’s when at the shop comparing the Celestee and Radiance… Happy mistake to be sure though.I had a similar reaction, I tried Stellia at a shop while having Clear at home. I fully expected the Clear to be better due to it's open back nature, and Stellia to be more of an indulgent luxury product. An hour later I was looking for deals on the Stellia and contemplating the insane act of dropping 3k on a pair of headphones.

Damn it.
Maybe even worth a headband cover.

Love listening to mine while I'm working from home when I'm not using my near field monitors. Walking around my home listening music or when I'm doing my daily walks outside with the ANCa on full silent, I absolutely love mine.

What would be ”better” exactly? In essence, this is a digital signal of ones and zeros, as long as you dont get any weird physical noise from it (rubbing up on your clothes or so) the cable should be fine.I got COVID so Im in bed for 4 dags. Bathys on DAC mode has been on.

^ This. Providing cable is of reasonable build quality basically any compatible cable should be fine. Zero reason to expect a different result from another cable. The likes of Audioquest will of course claim different, and people spending serious money on them will of course claim to hear the lifting of veils etc, but aside from aesthetics and handling no rational reason to change. I will likely use one of my braided USB-C cables because they handle better - less prone to kinks, and look better besides.
It's one of those suprising moments in audio when diminishing returns doesn't seem to be a thing? I went to the store to try Celestee, then saw Stellia and thought, eh, lets see. 'Probably going to be like 10% better'.Most expensive mistake I made was testing the Stellia’s when at the shop comparing the Celestee and Radiance… Happy mistake to be sure though.

I was reading the Bathys reviews above, and decided to listen to some of the test songs they used. I put on the Branford Marsalis and Andy Bey songs the reviewer mentioned. I don’t even like Branford Marsalis (or thought I didn’t). But 2 1/2 hours later, having gone down the rabbit hole including all of American Song by Andy Bey and 2 additional albums by Branford Marsalis, I was literally torn back to reality (and parenting) when my wife walked into the bedroom asking where I’d been all evening (nowhere - just real quietIt's one of those suprising moments in audio when diminishing returns doesn't seem to be a thing?
