I could be wrong, but the T71 doesn't support Atmos processing either AFAIK. It has its own "Proprietary Down-Mixing Algorithm" that mixes 7.1 down to stereo. I suppose the incoming 7.1 could be Atmos, but that's provided by the source, not the T71. I'm pretty sure the R4 doesn't send out...

Correct. Android devices need to support Atmos for Apple Music and Tidal to work with the Atmos tracks (they will play the stereo version). Oddly, Amazon Music is an exception. Apple devices also work just fine. My assumption is that Apple (and Amazon) have paid the license fees. I'm not...

@Joe Bloggs Are there plans to bring Dolby Atmos support to any DAP? Right now, you need an iPhone/iPad or an Atmos supported Android phone/tablet and an external DAC... I know both Tidal and Apple Music have Atmos tracks...

Unfortunately, the apps that will work over UPnP don't allow offline playback of Qobuz or Tidal so no way to stream without using data. I guess Airplay would be the best option if you download the Qobuz tracks to local storage for offline... Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

Hotspot Poly to your phone and you can use MConnect, BubbleUPnP (and others) to stream Tidal or Qobuz... Edit: It does use mobile data... how else would it work?

So no PEQ with Android 13?

No it doesn't bypass the amp. It just sets a fixed volume level. True line-outs are fairly rare in the portable DAP/DAC world, although some Hiby products have them.

Interesting choice by Hiby. I mean it's just software, right? I there some hardware limitation that prevents it?

Just to be clear, the current version of Tidal requires Android 7. Also I'm pretty sure the old versions don't support Tidal Max. With that said I have both Android 5 and Android 6 devices and the older versions do still "work" in that you can sign in and play music...

My imbalance problem (on both previous sets) was absolutely not the cable. Multiple cables and swapping channels made it 100% clear that it was the IEM itself.

My SP1000M now has a new battery. I did have to send to Korea but the process wasn't too bad. My first email inquiry was on 4/19/24 and after a few back and forth emails, I sent it off on 5/1/24. It was returned on 5/28/24. Total cost was $91. The hardest part was payment which had to be...

Just FYI, my Asus RT-AX86U running in Dual Band Smart Connect works with the Poly just fine. My SSID is "rlw6534" so no strange characters and no Mesh networking.

I'm on my 3rd pair now. Both earlier ones developed a significant volume mismatch and on my first pair, one side eventually quit altogether. I bought directly from Sennheiser and the warranty process has worked well so far. Of course, I worry that the new ones will fail as well. They have...

mConnect works well. There are also Roon and Audirvana ($$$). If you add Openhome support (with BubbleUPnP Server), you can also use a few other apps, such as Linn, etc.
