I fell for this item due to false advertising on the Amazon site, under one of the photos MQA is mentioned.
I used it for a few day and I was impressed, however being a Tidal-Android/UAPP user I went for the xDSD
so I can take full advantage of the double unfolding.

I'll be honest with you, I've no idea whether SpectraX can decode MQA right now, I need to look into it

In another order of thoughts, I also have xDSD, and it is a step up from SpectraX, but it is also quite a bit more expensive, and less portable. Still a nice upgrade though

Most of my friends are now going for SpectraX above most other simlarly priced DAC/AMPs, as I took my unit to our Romanian meeting and they were all very impressed by the sound. BTW, I am not sure how it is advertised, but I know that I like how it sounds.

Have to ask again - any Spectra or X owners notice any signature changes due to the possible high OI?

What do you mean, and what are you looking for?

SpectraX is at least on equal grounds with Q5 even when driving HD600 from Sennheiser , and that is saying a lot

@Dobrescu George

I'm asking if any owners have noticed sound changes due to the reported 10 ohm output impedance, particularly with low impedance IEMs

Obviously HD600 shouldn't have impedance issues

A bit.

Very low impedance IEMs may sound a bit brighter than they normally do

But that's about it

Hi guys (@Dobrescu George - love your channel btw. and @ngd3 ) - I dunno if this is too late but I had received an email from the seller on Amazon about high output impedance. If you want I can upload and make the firmware available. Cheers:

I reached out already and use that firmware, thanks though

Woah, thank you, really helpful info!!

You should try to share it as much as you can!

Guys, need to check something; When I plug the Spectra X into any of my device, it says only "Spectra" (no X). Is this same for all? Here's a screenshot. Thanks so much @ngd3

 

[ngd3]

It just says SPECTRA on my Note 10, you didn't get ripped off

Haha. Thanks man. This did help with that that OCD.

Can anyone compare the Spectra X to a Dragonfly Cobalt? Looking for something portable to pair with IEM's for travelling.
