    Does Volume Control on DAP Mean My External DAC isnt Working?

    THank you very much for this. I wonder why the volume then on the Vamp Versa V Moda then makes the DAP lose all volume functionality and leave the volume duties solely to the V-Moda device?

    Does Volume Control on DAP Mean My External DAC isnt Working?

    This is very helpful information, thank you so much for replying. I was thinking that since the AGPTEK T06S DAP is an Android, I would enable the developer mode to see if there was a customization to prevent the DAP from feeding power out to the Q5s; I found an option that asks what type of...

    Does Volume Control on DAP Mean My External DAC isnt Working?

    Hello all. I hope I worded my question coherently enough, but I have a few examples which should help mitigate things. I have a basic AGPTEK T06S touchscreen chinese digital audio player with a USB type C connection for synching and charging. It is a touch screen running on Android Oreo. The...

    Connecting the Portable Monoprice Monolith AAA with a iPod Classic: LOD to Line In Question (w/ pics)

    Is the LOD signal itself considered "analog" since we're using the dock itself, not the iPods headphone jack? I found this out of curiousity, can anyone please confirm if its valid: Is iPod output digital or analog? The iPod is great for storing and retrieving digital files, but the analog...

    Did I get a faulty Unit from Douk Audio M1 Pro? Tear Down with Pictures; too much GLUE?

    ...and no luck. This really sucks, its the first time I get burned on an item like this. I didnt spend a whole lot, and the reviews on Amazon should have strayed me off but i thought it was perfect for my needs from the advert. How the heck do they have the audacity to put 2 QA stickers on the...

    Did I get a faulty Unit from Douk Audio M1 Pro? Tear Down with Pictures; too much GLUE?

    I appreciate the warm welcome. I’ve lurking for awhile, and reading reviews before I go in on anything. Was disappointed the FiiO Qs5 and the THX amp module AM3D didn’t really live up to the expectations on the graph.

    Did I get a faulty Unit from Douk Audio M1 Pro? Tear Down with Pictures; too much GLUE?

    Awesome, I will try that when I get home. So connecting all 4 as I did (the wrong way) does that always result in absolutely zero sound coming out? Wouldn’t there be a distortion or at least some mumbled static? When I connect the smsl 50 pre amp/dac, I’ve been connecting it using all 4 and it...

    Did I get a faulty Unit from Douk Audio M1 Pro? Tear Down with Pictures; too much GLUE?

    Thanks for the quick response! I’m not sure what parallel means, but when you say to only use one channel, does that mean I should only plug 1 of the red and 1 of the black from the back of the DoukAudio M1 50? Would that be bottom two or top two? As far as the source I’ve used the Bluetooth...

    Hello ASR members this is my first post and I really hope to become more active in here as my audiophile quest continues. I recently bought a DoukAudio M1 Pro bluetooth amp/dac, and when I connect to my JBL HLS Center speaker, no sound comes out. I have used this same speaker with my SMSL 50...
