Has anyone found a good app to adjust balance? The 507 doesn’t have a balance control which is inexplicable to me. I’m looking for a simple app that offers balance, I don’t need all the other capabilities that the most popular android apps offer. Thanks for any ideas. ✌️
Your best option is Neutron music player app, which can be adjusted in the settings to provide pcm(not dsd) bit perfect playback to the s-master hx.

Wavelet also has a balance control. I believe Poweramp Equalizer does as well, but not certain.

Just curious: Still no Bitperfect Playback with Qubuz/Tidal possible?

No, and it will never be. It is not possible on the 3700€ WM1ZM2 either.

But there is nothing to worry about. The upscaling wont affect the sound quality, it pretty much only affects the battery life. The upsclaing wastes a lot of power without gaining any sound quality.

You're only loosing sound quality when you're listening to >32/192 files.

It kinda is, when using Qobuz/Tidal from UAPP.

Just snagged a japanese uncapped zx507 off ebay looking forward to comparing with my UK capped to see if it can drive my meze Advar more successfully

I have the capped version so would be very interested in hearing how much difference the cap makes. Surprisingly mine drives my full sized Denon AH-D7200 and Sony MDR-1A with ease, I just have to push the volume to between 85 and 90, my Moondrop Starfield IEMs need just a bit less.

Yes, I sometimes think this obsession for the high gain output version is unnecessary unless one plans to use higher impedance, less sensitive headphones. For the majority of IEMs, the 507 without high gain (either output) is plenty of power. With that said, I bought a Japanese version too because of the high gain, so I learned a lesson. ✌️

I have quite a few iems that the capped version won't drive so hoping the uncapped will

And I have to say un capping the a55 and nwm1a made a huge difference for me.

really? IEMs have a low impedance and high sensitivity, so you must have some outliers in your collection or you like to listen at high volume levels. Anyway, best to you and your journey. ✌️

Having received and used the Japanese uncapped version compared to my British capped version there is substantial difference not only in the volume an iem that was still under powered at 120 is driven fully at 80 on the un capped version. The actual sound signature is more to my tastes.

Hi everyone, for those that put on a different launcher does it stay after reboot?

I constantly have to change my launcher after the device restarts, it seems to always want to default to "quickstep" its so annoying. Any way around this?

thanks.

I've done this, sometimes it remembers, sometimes it doesnt and keeps asking which I want to pick at the start.

Lockscreen > "google keeps stopping" messages > pop ups of that message several times > asks me which home app I want to use

I am bewildered
