I searched this thread for keyword "persistent" but didn't find anything here or in the user manual.
How can I configure this device so that volume is always set to maximum when connecting?
Right now, every time I turn this on the volume is waaaay too low. And it takes a lot of clicks to get it where I want it.
Just got a cheap and short 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable from Amazon to use my 5K with an M50x. Using LDAC and a modified "oratory" EQ these sound quite good. I'd still prefer the K371 and the 5K, but the K371 doesn't get along with glasses as well as the M50x. I've recently gotten glasses again, switching from contacts.
Thanks for the response (and all the conversation that followed, interesting stuff)!
Honestly, I'm just not gonna stress about it right now, then. I could absolutely see myself belonging in the "can't tell a difference" group, I'm not an analytical listener in any way and I've always had difficulties with those tests where you have to discern between a FLAC and a low-bitrate MP3 file, for example.
I mean, now that the thought has popped to my mind, I'll have to give it a try some day, just maybe not right now. I'll focus on the more important stuff for now and return to this train of thought at a later date if I feel like something is missing.
Usually it's fine but sometimes it can definitely be a bit too much!

What sorcery are you using to attach the 5K to the ear cup? Love the cable management. I do that to the tag end of my guitar strings in stead of cutting them off so I have little circles on my headstock.

PS5 --- USB C Cable --- Qudelix 5K --- 3.5mm TRRS connector - VModa Boom Pro cable with Microphone - 3.5mm TRS connector --- AKG K702 headphones
Now from what I have read, the Q5K is compatible with the PS5 USB, due to its UAC1 compatibility. But, can I use the boom pro mic for voice and the single connection via 3.5mm TRRS into the Q5K. Does the Q5K accept the microphone input of the boom pro, or will I have to use a splitter on the TRRS and put the TRS headphone output to the Q5K and the other TRS mic input to a separate mic connection on the PS5 in order for voice to work? The Q5K will be sitting on my desk, so I can't use the Q5K inbuilt microphone on the device.
Oh boy, I need to have a word with our editing team for taking some dumb liberties there. Thanks, I've put that paragraph back where it was when I wrote and submitted it almost a month ago.
Did you guys knew there is a Dignis case for the Qudelix 5K? Almost half the price of the device but quite nice nonetheless…
I think these would make throwing the 5K across the room less pleasurable because someone made the QX-over cord 3 inches too long. I swear, it catches on everything. And throwing it out of the way is the only solution to a possible tripping hazzard.
I'm guessing that you will end up liking it. Headphone jacks are going the way of the Dodo bird on most higher $ smartphones and even when phones did have them in the past, they usually weren't very good. Usually had low output and not very good audio dacs in them. Only one I have ever seen that had good reviews was the LG G series ( 20-40) but I can't comment since I have never owned or heard the quad dacs that were present in those phones at the time. My Samsung S8 had a phone jack and it didn't sound very good and didn't have enough power to drive anything I owned (iems or headphones) to a satisfying listening level. Only when I bought a dedicated USB dac/amp (Fiio Q1MK2) did I begin to understand how much better music could sound from a phone. I also ended up buying 3 Radsone Earsonics ES100 dac/amps and most recently, the Qudelix. I now use these devices with my Samsung S20 (which also has no phone jack) but the SQ on all is good enough for me to not want to bother with desktop dacs and amps (or even home audio speaker based setups). If you can, try to take advantage of the balanced output of the Qudelix. This provides even better separation and imaging, as well as more power. In any case, I'm certain that you would be happier with the sound of your gear, than by just using the phone's built-in dac and the headphone jack. Just my 2-cents...ymmv.
