After few tries I got it running with my iphone 7, but it took time to recognise S1.

Guys, but wooow this device is crazy...As an owner of DFR/ Oppo HA2 this S1 is a clear step ahead in SQ against DFR, less against HA2, but what it does way better is imaging, that 3D sound I was unaware my PM3 can produce, it's not left/right channel anymore...even left/right is provided way more accurately than my previous portable devices. How can this be so tiny and so good....

Thats the first thing I noticed, it has that 3d staging and imaging that only top tier daps have.

On a side note, lotoo I'd love a leather case for this tiny bugger 😋

Ipad Mini 1st gen, batt life is better than my phone (need twice charging ever since S1 came) isine 10 sounds good on separation & low impact.

Penon audio L-shape type c to lightning adapter works wonderfully on Iphone xs. Took 27 days to receive from China.

Didn't see any usb c to c cables like this :( I'm sure I had a non braided angled 4inch c to c cable - I thought ifi or fiio made it but don't see it. Have to look on ebay.

Woo Audio angled USB-C to USB-C cable works by the way.

The only disadvantage from my view is that S1 takes the volume control in hand and i’m unable to adjust it using my phone/laptop...Not sure why it’s needed at all. It could be way better if you could control it only through phone/laptop like with DFR.

And there are owners of the 9038s who wish that the device has separate physical volume controls...

I will have to double check, but I though that if you use the Tidal app you can adjust volume on both phone and S1, but with UAPP set to bit perfect only on the device... I will have to try this out again to be sure.

The S1 use very little current and has great power output.
I am using mine with LG V50.
Rest your fears.
Comparison between lg V50 headphones out and the PAW S10, please.
