I tried to attach a photo but I’m not sure how to do that. I got my A306 from Best Buy. It has a very low serial number 1000027. Thankfully it doesn’t have bass issue however I noticed few other things. I’m using it with 3 different sets of headphones. Philips Fidelio X2, L2 and Sony own wh1000xm4.
- no issues with Sony headphones everything as expected, I’m glad I can take advantage of LDAC
- with Philips L2 (16ohm @ 200mw) also no issues, and I’m happy listening at 80-90 volume levels
- but with X2 which are still easy to drive at 30ohm 500mw I have to sometimes crank volume up all the way to 120, how are people using more power hungry headphones? My supreme 40 year old DC2 Walkman will work fine with any headphones I’ve used. So that’s my first issue
- second issue is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity problems. When I try to stream music and listen using Bluetooth I get severe dropouts. Again, my 10 year old iPod touch doesn’t have this problem. I checked wifi and I’m on 5ghz network standing next to the router. Using wired headphones seems to improve connection. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Is one not supposed to have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on at the same time?
Thank you
