I also think they sound pretty warm, but in a good way, they have a full and likable sound signature. Compared to my previous cheapo Samson SR850, I don't need to EQ anything but the bass (I'm a basshead!) because the rest sounds as clear as it should be. My only problem is that sadly these...

I feel like alot of mainstream audio companies in the Bluetooth field decide not to implement codecs. You mostly only get LDAC on Sony headphones and AAC is basically the only somewhat widely used standard at this point. Funny though that it doesn't really matter, because as example my iPhone...

I do wish for LHDC to become mainstream, it promises good stuff - but there's a good reason (for the OEMs) to make their own codecs and their own only, being samsungs one, then apple AAC and Sony LDAC. It's simply to drive users to their own products and only give them high quality there, same...

Yeah, as good as all those brands (from the phones list) listed are chinese, or originating from China. Adoption of LHDC is quite quick from chinese phone makers, but I quite doubt it will ever become properly mainstream, simply because all others make their own codecs.

ah, yeah, if they do then the input power doesn't change anything. Weird design choice though, since on my Crushers I can either turn them off and have direct passthrough, or turn them on and get DSP'd 3.5mm audio.

Thing with LHDC is just that it's mostly not found on anything other than some budget phones and mostly chinese brands. Apple, Samsung, Google and the likes don't have it and I don't feel like they'll ever have it, either

If I picked the right one from their list, it has 125mW (per channel? for both channels?) so maybe the lack of bass might come from being a bit less power. They state >100dB SNR on the front page and then >120dB SNR in the specs, so who knows, but if it works for you then that's what matters. My...

Oh right, sorry, overflew that.

Same for me, both Atmos for Headphones and DTS:X barely even hit any HRTF cues for me at all. The only thing so far that worked for me is a direct impulse response from my ears

What about the FiiO BTR line up? I have my BTR5 since years now and it's a nice and very portable little DAC/Amp combo. Sounds great and has quite good battery life. It also depends on the headphones I think. As example my Skullcandy Crushers ANC 2 (don't boo me, they're my fun headphones) use...

I'm new to the higher quality audio world too, my only somewhat proper DAC previously has been my trusty FiiO BTR5. I recently got the Topping DX1 and can only report positively. At high gain with volume in Windows and the knob at max, I hear no noise floor at all, which could partially be my...
