What is PW audio component for?
This Adapter is design for AK(DAP and AK AMP)
2.5mm plus 3.5mm connected together and convert to 4.4mm at the same time and provide grounding effect
https://www.headphonesty.com/2019/04/headphone-jacks-plugs-explained/
As all of you may know 2.5mm design is not same with 4.4mm
That's why PW audio boss use 3.5mm(grounding only without providing sound signal) to "compensate"

The 4.4mm female plug is using PENTACONN and the "backgound sound" will become very very "Dark and slient" if you are using "4.4mm shielding audio cable"

My newest DIY case for my rig. Over 500gb of hi-res music with a good 6 hours of high volume listening time on a single charge. Case made from an old Frost River waxed canvas bag. The case is a nice compromise between protection and cool operation.

What do you use tidal?

What ever goes in is normally Apple Lossless or 320kbps. I simply like the size, plus the camera. I’d probably be better off with a new cell phone? Lol

But the qdc IEMs come with this tiny magnetic locking case, then the iPod is super small, so it’s kind of perfect. Of course I do miss my 1A on these outings, so on actual trips the 1A comes along. Years ago all I had was IPods, I’ve had them forever, so I guess I’m used to them. Back years ago it was better to stack an amp with them but the Anole V3 is so easy to drive.....I just try and keep it simple.

Though any FLAC can get transposed to Apple Lossless in the converter plug-in for Foobar 2000. That’s where stuff can get unexpectedly complicated. Though I will admit I shamelessly use 320kbps files.

Nothing wrong with an ipod touch. Very small and does not sound bad and you can add a dragonfly if you want to improve it. I tried qdc anole vx and loved them.

Yes, the other part I didn’t mention is the rain. So here all of a sudden there can be giant heavy rainstorms that last 15 minutes. You can’t always tell when they will hit. But it’s crazy....so going out and around with this minimal set-up is actually kind of the thing to do. Walking just to your car can result in being drenched, so I don’t really take nice gear out. :)

Endgame level setup right here. It even has a bottom facing mono speaker and some aggressive sound processing when EQ'ng, even after disabling all DSP effects. Am I doing this audiophile thing right guys?
My portable set up is my galaxy s10 phone with Sony Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones. Sounds great

The A50 is probably not the worst thing I've heard, but I wouldn't rely on the speaker for anything and EQ'ng does give me some questionable results. I don't know what could be going on, but there's slightly less clarity unless I use the Custom option and drop each band a few notches. This seems to be regardless of whatever I plug in.
