Is it worth getting the Digital cable? I have a ps4 pro and I was wondering if it's worth the upgrade. But I also don't know if once it connects to the controller if it kills any benefits.

I just got my KOSS ESP/95x headphones and am wondering if a digital cable would help at all or if it's barely noticeable.

Hi all! So long I haven't use my Xduoo, exactly since late 2008 when I bought a Sony WM1A dap. Those last days I'm using the Sony IER-Z1R with the Xduoo paired with a Shanling M2s and I'm very happy with results. I remember in 2008 I put a OPA2209 but it seems that there have been some interesting developments. Could someone recommend any amplifier modules? Thank you very much in advance and happy new year!

I have searched, don't see a clear answer, so I will ask.
I recently purchased the xd05 Basic, USBC in, and USBC power to a standard USB power block(Phone charger), It charged all night, still shows charging. If I unplug from power, battery shows full, but if I switch from battery to ext.power, nothing. So I'm guessing that is not enough to drive it. I have looked everywhere and cant find a clear answer as to what power supply I need for constant desktop use, only a picture in the manual of a wall charger to USB C. Thanks for any answers or suggestions.

What file format does the xd-05 plus with the bluetooth adapter xd-05bl pro sound best with? Someone expressed a preference for a particular format but I can't find the post now. I remember that the bluetooth adapter downsamples to cd quality so I am thinking about using straight wav files just so that I don't have to wonder if lossless compression truly is.

ps... is there a way to make replaygain metadata available in wav files?

Greetings~

Just wanna ask a question if any of you ever put in a Burson V6 Vivid/Classic into the XD-05 Plus (I know it won't fit but I'll think of a way to do it... somehow haha)
Does the sound improve further from the V5i? I'm currently running the V5i and I only use this as a desktop unit. So having it open is not a problem to me :/

Anyone ordered the XD-05 Balanced? It’s up on shenzhenaudio with built in Bluetooth too.
Both balanced and unbalanced are rated at 1W. Wonder what’s the point of the balanced port and if any objective audible differences....
