Thanks! I had done that before I read this, because I found a page doing a google search that was in Korean but had one thing in English, and that was to press the Orange button for ten secs to reset. I didn’t do it plugged in to the Mac though, but when I plugged it in, it came back to life.

Yes, iPhone and MacBook Air, same thing.

I'm sure this post will get lost among 29 pages of them, but I'm sure if I post it as its own it's going to get moved here, so I guess I don't have a choice. I keep my Qudelix T71 connected to my Mac Studio almost all the time, because it's the way I listen to music most of the time. But today...

I finally got it, and I'm happy with the sound quality, it just sucks that it doesn't work with receivers. But something occurred to me and I wanted to ask about it here. I know it sounds crazy, but I wonder if the HDMI audio only output in 4K Blu-ray players, along with an HDMI to USB-C adapter...

Thanks! Anyone else has any insights on this? I mean someone who ordered the T71 specifically in the US?

Well, shouldn't that be the same for the whole country? I mean, customs fees are a federal thing, not state, right?

Thanks for your opinions. What about the customs fees, for those of you living in the US?

And I appreciated your advice, however, I'm doing my due diligence and asking people in this forum as well, to have as many opinions as possible before spending $300 on a device that may have no discernible difference with the 5K in my case. Unless you think your opinion is the only one that...

I'm thinking of getting one of these, but I'm still going back and forth between spending the $300 in one of these or just $110 to have another Qudelix 5K, which is the best sound quality I've heard in my life, by far, so much that I can't imagine anything with a better sound quality. Of course...

Before I buy the next Lightning OTC to USB-C cable for my DAC, I wanted to ask the experts here. Agvee is out of the question, since it's the last one I bought and it lasted less than two months. Out of Amazon's return period, but at least Agvee refunded me. But I know I will most likely find...

The Fiio A3 and A5 still show on their website, but they're nowhere to be found except hugely overpriced on eBay of course. I recently got an A3 and I love it, it's a great little device for just one function and it does it well. No bells and whistles, just plain 3.5mm input and output. I was...

I'm looking for something simple, small and light, in the old style of headphone amps, not a DAC, I already have the best DAC in the world which is the Qudelix 5K. This is just to complement the Qudelix, a simple headphone out from whatever I need to use to the amp via a 3.5mm male cable on both...

Looking for a smart watch that will allow me to go on long walks and bike rides. My wife has the Apple Watch Series 3, from 2017, and I paired my Soundcore Liberty 4 and they sound remarkably well, maybe not as good as when paired to my iPhone, but definitely much better than I thought...

Hey man, I got the Qudelix 5K today, and it's freaking amazing!! The sound quality coming out of such a tiny little thing is unbelievable. The degree of customization that you get with it, especially when it comes to the EQ, is insane. Uncle Jeff let me try the Fiio K7, then the Fiio Q3 MQA and...

Sure, but then why not put one 4.4mm for users of balanced headphones, which can easily order or you can include a 4.4mm to 2.5mm balanced adapter, and then use the space that you have for the 2.5mm balanced for a 3.5mm unbalanced, covering what is most likely 99% of headphones owners in the...

Thank you, Raketen, that seems to be a really good amp. The only thing lacking is a 3.5mm input to connect a portable player, but a 10 band EQ, with the insane amount of customization it offers (Q range and any frequency you want to assign to those 10 spots), for $110 and great reviews, seems...

I was wondering why is Fiio putting so much emphasis on balanced headphones in detriment of regular 3.5mm ones? Everybody has tons of headphones with 3.5mm connectors going back decades. I have at least 5 purchased in the last decade, but only one set of balanced headphones, and ownership of...

Thanks, LoneFurrow. That one is not too far up in terms of cost, but still a bit steep for what I need. The reality is that I don't absolutely need my phone to listen to Hi-res lossless audio, I can use my Mac for that, and it's connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 that I use to capture my...

For the most part, an amp that allows me to connect to my iPhone and Mac for music, but also has an analog input (3.5 mm is fine if that's all there is), to connect from the headphone output of the Pioneer receiver to it, and plug in my headphones to this amp. If the amp itself has some kind of...

Well, maybe I should've given more details, but I tend to write too much as it is. In all the audio gear I have, the best quality I get from the headphones output comes from a Sansui G-5700. This is due to the great sound Sansuis have overall, but also because the headphone output wasn't...

Not so much. The barebones audio signal as it is, doesn't sound good at all. It sounds flat and boring. The signal coming out of the Pioneer's headphone output is a step over that, but not much more. Unfortunately they put all the emphasis on the speakers and leave the headphones in a distant...

I'm going crazy trying to find this with so many options and none being what I need. I just bought a Fiio K7 amp, and while it sounds pretty good (as long as the music has some custom EQ), it doesn't help me with what I need the most. HiRes audio, crazy 192 Khz sample rates are great, but I...

Thanks, but I should've clarified that no Sonys for me. I've had enough bad experiences with all kinds of Sony products that I arrived at the conclusion that Sony is overpriced, overvalued garbage. Mediocre at best. Now, you may be totally right, but I've used the industry standard Sony...

I've had the Audio Technica ATH-M50x for many years, and I love them. But I just bought a Fiio K7 amp and ATH-MSR7b headphones just to see what the whole balanced thing was about. Uncle Jeff told me it was fine, I could try them out and if I didn't like them just return them, he doesn't care...

Just wanted to give some praise for these. I just got a pair from Guitar Center at the same price they're everywhere else and they are just amazing. Of course, I'm not an audiophile that buys headphones for hundreds of dollars, my best headphones so far had been the Grado SR60 many years ago and...
