You mean 50% more volumen?
Yes.
You are right. I will make the change, but it will not increase the volumen, I guess??
It will not.

I'm a bit confused about this part:

This should be able to go to 0dB.
It could be that you have some kind of limiter in place.

Yes indeed. I use the same settings as well but kept the 105hz filter at 4.5db and removed the 20hz one and am quite happy with the amount of bass I get. You might like it, you might not, but it is worth experimenting in my opinion.
Sure, I can try it.
But a balanced cable costs about 35€.
That is a cheap upgrade, I think.

I am not sure where the -17,25 dB comes from?
It is my Android phone.
Click on the Option menu. First setting there should be max limit. See what is set there.

Hi guys,

I need your support here.
Please look attached two pictures.

After I have set the EQ, the volume decease :-(

Maybe I should buy a balanced cable for my Qudelix 5K?
89 dB is not loud enough.

Thank you.
Why is the Bluetooth input at - 17.5 dB? Figure out how to get that to near 0 and your problem is solved. And you could then knock the Qudelix volume (the right) below 0db too.

Edit. Late to the party.

Hi,

I do not know why input was -17.5 dB.
Now it is 0.00 dB

The 2 screenshots are from 2 different devices. One was a generic Bluetooth label, the second looks to be an ldac equipped phone?

You need to figure out how to increase the volume of the first device, it's beaming out a vastly reduced signal. TV with volume down maybe?

I have only one phone ;-)
But I have also used my Sony TV with the Qudelix.

Was the first screenshot with the TV connected instead by any chance?

I might be asking stupidly, but the Qudelix offers 3.5mm 80mW per channel per channel.
Please look at the RMS on this picture.

841 mV.

I am not sure?
I cannot se my TV settings/measurement on my phone?
Take a screenshot of the app screen when definitely connect and playing from the TV and the same when definitely playing from your phone. The labels for the bt source will be different.

Hi,

Please look at the picture.
This time I played from my Sony TV.

Picture is from my Android Phone.
My phone is not relevant, when I am playing bluetooth from my TV to the Qudelix?

Not to worry- sounds like you are now getting the volume you need from your phone connected.
