Anybody found any good short 180deg connector cables? Preferably from Amazon/ebay rather than ali. I did see one formfitted 180deg bent short cable on ali, and also have seen a few on ebay with 180deg connectors but they are long and not sure about the quality.

what I was referring to is something like this, not sure if anybody got similar to share their experience with? 1st one is from ali, next one from ebay (but needs another short usb-c to usb-a cable, and last Anker cable from amazon is too long and has usb-a on the other side. The idea is to have 180deg connector at the bottom of the phone wrapped around to the back for W2 connection.

Looks like a Cobra. A cobra cable.

o que eu estava me referindo é algo assim, não tenho certeza se alguém tem algo semelhante para compartilhar sua experiência? O primeiro é da Ali, o próximo do ebay (mas precisa de outro cabo usb-c curto para usb-a e o último cabo Anker da Amazon é muito longo e tem usb-a do outro lado. na parte inferior do telefone enrolado na parte traseira para conexão W2.

I use the first one on my Dx160 ... It's excellent

There is something like this too:


No. 4 goes with the one I posted. No.11 is what goes with @twister6 adapter. If only the adapter I found was USB-C male on both ends..

how thick a device can it accommodate? I have the Hiby R5, which is chunky in that dimension.

Do you have a link? Also, when you interconnect pieces, is there any wiggle?

It is flexible, stretches a little on the Dx160 with hididz s9, on my galaxy note 9 it folds a little less, but I believe it adapts to many configurations

Would you be able to use it with DX160 in a provided TPU case?

Just wondering if the connector extends far enough to accommodate the case:

and if there is enough gap on the back for the case as well:

Because this one only sold on ali and I never shopped there before, I'm a bit hesitant creating the account and providing them with my cc or pp or whatever they accept as a payment.

.... looks like you answered it above

Btw, mentioned this in L&P DAP thread, though it probably belongs here. Per latest W2 fw update and addition of Xelento preset under SDF (SDF as in sound-field??), It's a very subtle change, mostly affecting lower mids, giving them extra body, and making overall sound a little more organic and smoother. It doesn't feel like a drastic EQ change preset, more like a finetuning of the sound per someone else's taste, but it is quite "tasteful". Can't wait what they're going to come up with for Traillii.

Thanks! Found and ordered it on ebay, both 180deg adapter and usb-c to usb-c short adapter, all together and shipped under $4. It is dirt cheap, so not sure about the quality, but will find out in a month.

Thx for this insight.
Do you know if there's a list of yet to come IEM equs?
I am also wondering about what is their deciding criteria for this.
After hearing Xelento I thought about market share as I know Xelento has been advertised alot in consumer media like journals etc
Same goes to the likes of Isine 20 etc or Shure 846
I am no market expert but I am guessing that not so many people can afford the likes of Traillii or Odin and these would usually buy higher end DAPs?
But this thread can prove the opposite potentially looking at people's gear

Guess I just mean it takes 3 presses to change the volume - first press turns the screen on, second press seems to do nothing, third press starts changing the volume - I don't need to be looking at the screen to know this. And allowing the source to control volume doesn't always give 100 steps.

I don't know if this point has already been corrected - but in case not. NO - much easier - you don't need to press turn screen on, you just press volume key 2x makes 1x volume up or down. You have 0 - 100 (very fine adjustments) so if you press the volume up 3 times the sound will increase by 2 steps.

It's dead easy and well thought through because 1 time pressing could be an error - but two times pressing quickly after each other is easy and simple. if you press 8x it will increase loudness by 7x.... and so forth...

Regarding button volume control you are right with 3 clicks - I haven't realized that before.
That's indeed worth to be fixed Imho.
Regarding the HID KEY on mode though I have to say it's quite flawless, jumping between 1 or 2 steps in both Tidal or Amazon Music on my Apple Watch
That's very convenient

no need to fix - it's only 2 clicks to increase volume control by 1 click, the first click activates volume control - and NO need to lit up the display at all. Very practical ....

No, 3 times when display is set to Auto off which is my default to save power and not hurt my eyes at night.
I would like to decide myself and see an implementation like other manufacturers are using: a configurable volume lock mode: on/off and otherwise allowing direct volume change.
I mean imagine your hifi stereo amplifier in your living room would force you to always press buttons in order to turn the volume wheel.
I feel rather annoyed with volume normalization turned off in the source player app - this requires me using the volume buttons even more often.
This is my default as I am otherwise compromising dynamic range...
