[Shanling]

just wanna adding a little here.. for the next update.. regarding the sound of onix alpha already great just some minor in the vocal that's sound too smooth and laid-back, maybe it could be more forward and detailed or lively or brighter.. that's it.. and thank you

We do not alter sound of our devices with firmware updates.

If you want bright... use Fast filter.. Its already sounds great not need to tweak...

Has anyone played w the filters? Fast/Slow then Low Latency (Fast/Slow) etc ...
Or the timeout feature?

Can it be updated with iOS or MacOS or is a PC required?

You can always apply some EQ.
I mean Spotify has it built in...
Or for me... on my Mac, I use eqMac and also set the Midi app to increase the rates to the max.. (Which may be overkill)

Ok, what device?
For example I use my iPhone 15 and then my mac book.
On the Mac I use eqMac to do some equalization.. where I can do some bass boost, or use a preset filter that they have for my IEMs.

I use Spotify, but would imagine that tidal has some sort of equalization (EQ) where you can boost some frequency.

realme 10 pro, and IMO sound better on phone than on PC
it's quite surprising for me, as far as i know using dongle dac usually sound better on PC, but not this one and it's the opposite even though draining my phone batteries quite fast

Ok, not familiar with it.
Can you go to something like the Google Play store and download a free EQ app for the phone?
Or check Tidal to see if they have a built in EQ app?

Is there anything to note about Onix on PC? It seems like I haven't achieved the desired sound quality yet. The driver does not work well on Windows 10, the sound sometimes freezes for 0.5 seconds.
