Headphoneus Supremus
I have noticed that my USB connection is very finicky with these headphones. I've had a Chord Qutest and various other DACs on this PC running Roon and not had any issues, but with the Ananda BT, I get a ton of clicks, pops, and pretty much made it unlistenable until I put an Ifi iGalvanic to greatly improve the USB connection and it got rid of all my problems. It was expensive, but the only thing that worked. I still listen on BT most of the time, due to the volume bug with the USB connection. I have lots of albums that just don't play loud enough over the USB connection and I don't want to use any kind of preamplification.
BTW - I am trying to get out of the headphone gear hobby and investing more in my speaker setup. I'm selling everything (see my sig) and I'm hoping to keep the Ananda BT as my only high end/minimal setup heapdhone - so it's definitely uniquely positioned in this market as a great all-in-one solution for beginners or those that don't want to invest in an overly complicated system with separate components. I just hope firmware updates are continuously released to address any remaining issues (mainly the lower volume over USB connection over DAC).
