is this thing not having asio support for windows?
Why do you need it, WASAPI exclusive is bit-perfect and more stable. ASIO was always finicky with setting proper buffer size and switching between different bitrate high res tracks due to buffer reallocation.

do wasapi exclusive automatically matches the sampling rate with the songs? i rarely used it
if so then it's good

Of course, it's bit perfect. MS really improved their audio stack, no reason to stick with kernel streaming or ASIO, it's old school now.

I have a two question concerning the W4 /EX:

1. How many and exactly what kind of different sound tweaks/EQ options can be found in the menu? And do they work well in your subjective opinion?

2. Does the magnet of the case work directly with MagSafe of newer iphones (so it sticks directly to the phone`s back without having to use the magnet sticker)?

Anyone using W4 with IE900, is there a big difference between se and balanced sound?
Not that I can detect but I do have to swap cables as I don't have a suitable adaptor and probably shouldn't use an adaptor in any case as it may affect the sound. By the time I've unplugged, swapped and plugged back in then for me its impossible to detect a difference.

Don't worry, just buy the W4, you will not regret it, that's how impressive it is, and don't forget to buy the original, blue leather case also.👍

kinda, sorta, but it easily slips. I found that this inexpensive accessory does a great job, better than the metal plate.

There is only one "very small" problem in using ddHifi TC28i PRO and that is that it interrupts the exchange of information between the battery and the charger, continuing to charge it even beyond 100% with the consequent risk of explosion and fire. Measurement carried out with usb cable/tester on the android version... and I don't think it changes much with the lightning one.

Are you sure ? As far as I know, these are devices that manage their charge autonomously
(the charger is inside the smartphone, and it decides when to stop charging based on the state of charge of the internal cell).

The charger must necessarily be inside the smartphone, if only to adapt the USB voltage of 5V (or more, in the case of smart charging)
to the maximum voltage of the lithium cells, which usually has a range that can vary from 4.1 to 4.35V.

Furthermore, USB chargers are voltage generators, while lithium cells must be charged at constant current (with a current and not a voltage generator)
until the threshold voltage is reached, after which it passes on to charging at constant voltage (CV mode).

If there is no communication between the charger and the device, the problem that could occur is that
the smartphone 'negotiates' a smart charge (greater than 5V),
while any device connected 'in parallel' is not capable of withstanding this 'high ' voltage.

Just check the USB cable connected to the TC28 PRO to find out how much current it delivers when the smartphone reaches 100% of the charge, a friend of mine did it and the charge continued as if it were discharged. It seemed right to let you know.
