    Qudelix-5K Bluetooth DAC & Headphone Amp

    I mean, lesson learned, I’ll clip it to my jeans pocket instead. But it’s not like Qudelix specifies where you are supposed to clip that thing, though?

    Qudelix-5K Bluetooth DAC & Headphone Amp

    Anyone else experienced the clip … just breaking on them? I initially thought the clip to be the dorkiest thing about it, until I realized how practical it is to wear the Qudelix like an on-stage IEM receiver clipped to the back of my belt. However, this apparently caused quite a bit of strain...

    Hiby R4 or Fiio JM21 or Shanling M1 plus or Shanling H2

Or in other words, is there even a benefit of activating Performance mode when the source is an iPhone which tops out at AAC over...

    What headphone(s) do you own ?

    I'm admittedly a bit partial to Sennheiser products. When I bought the iPhone 3G in 2008, I wanted to treat myself to my first pair of "high-end" earphones and picked up the Sennheiser MM 50 iP at an "outrageously expensive" price tag of € 79.99. Seeing how I wish to protect my blissful...
