I recently received my Hifiman Edition XS and I noticed the stock SE cable results in no issues when connected to my Moondrop Dawn Pro - iPad. There are also no issues when using either the stock cable or my balanced Faaeal cable when connected to my dawn pro - Windows 10 PC.
However, when I try using the balanced cable/output with my iPad, the audio would start stuttering (completely turning on and off several times in a row for a split second each time) during busy passages at high volumes - there's a very specific volume threshold where if you go one notch above the stuttering comes back. This occurs consistently at certain busy parts of a song, and occurs even if the entire setup is completely still with no movement. With the other setups (iPad+SE or Windows+SE/balanced), I'm able to increase the volume much louder than the stuttering threshold.
I was wondering if anyone could confirm
1. That this isn't an issue with my Hifimans, or my balanced cable
2. If this is an issue of my dac firmware interacting with apple software? If so, is this an issue on Moondrop's end or Apple's end? I've read there's some stuttering issues with macbooks and external dacs, not sure if that applies to my iPad and balanced output specific issue.
