Guys,
Look this is getting silly.
Do you blame Onix, or the phone manufacturer who's either out of spec or provides the minimal to be compliant?
Now Onix tried to remedy some of the issues w their new firmware.
I'm going to make an educated guess that they were trying to reduce the power requirement of the Alpha with the update.
And in doing so... changing the power requirement had a negative impact on some of the perceived sound.
(So Shanling provided software to revert back to the sound that everyone enjoys.)
As to point out Samsung... you kinda hit the nail on the head.
Samsung M series has issues w dongles. Why? Could it be that they don't provide enough power out?
Yet their higher end models don't have this issue?
Look at the end of the day... Shanling is a reputable company making good products.
Be thankful that there is a user community....
Note: What I find silly is that if this doesn't work for you... for whatever reason... you can sell it. You may not break even, but you can recoup some of your cost.
For me... taking the wife out to dinner in Chicago? More expensive than the cost of this DAC.
