I'm on iPhone X / iOS15.02 but it's not Apple Music, it's Spotify. I guess Spotify just outputs 44.1KHz. I'll try if I can play some music with Apple music without subscription.

Now I got the picture. Basically those providers are streaming in whatever quality and do the decoding inside their app and send it out raw on 44.1 / 48 KHz. They can tell you 'super high quality' but it's all under the hood hard to check. Probably it's a secured stream as well, hard to see the...

Hi all, I recently found a pair of Magnepan MMG's listed for not a lot of money and I bought them just to get an idea why some people are so lyrical about Magnepan. I hooked them up and I have to say they sound amazing! It's not to be compared with a box speaker. Although the measurements and...

Thanks. Yes, I came to that conclusion. If I am right, the decoder is inside the Spotify app and it just spits out the decompressed audio at 44.1KHz. Thanks a lot for the insights! :)

Next time, plan a few days in Amsterdam, it’s great!

Thanks, you too!

I think it’s displaying the sample-rate and not the bitrate. So it should be fine indeed. The DAC does not have any buttons and I wonder if it can display bitrate.

I mean upgrade the iOS. And yes Apple is forcing, I start noticing lags with scrolling, which I never had before. tThat’s why I still use the older iOS.

This is all I got on iPhone X / iOS15.02 (yes I need to update ☺️)

This is what it shows (not mine tho, not in my room right now)

I don’t have that setting, weird… Only Settings>Music>Mobile Streaming which is set to high quality

Topping D10s

The Netherlands. I’m not known with the DAC and I have no idea how to display it. It might be that’s it’s good anyway.

Thanks, I was thinking the higher samplerate results in better anti-alias filtering and less noise. I might be confused as well with the bitrate as I’m not known with the DAC. Is there a way to show the bitrate on this DAC?

Hi, I’m using the D10s DAC to play Spotify on my iPhone X, together with the Apple CCK cable and an external USB power supply. The displays only shows 44.1KHz whichever song I choose. I’ve changed the audio quality in Spotify settings to very high and I have a solid WiFi connection. Why is the...
