Thanks, had no idea about Android resampling. And it looks like 256kbps AAC is only for their Web player, very high on mobile/desktop app being "equivalent to approximately 320kbit/s," seeming to mean Ogg Vorbis. No big deal to me either way, but between your experience and what I've read...

Yep, love the HD58X with the Q5K. Edit: Changing the phrasing of the question. Does anybody have experience going from using the Q5K over Bluetooth on Android (LDAC) to using it over Bluetooth on iPhone (AAC)? I understand that Android doesn't implement AAC as well as iPhone, so testing between...

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation. Yeah wow, going Harman target for that range with Crinacle for the rest definitely kicks up the bass a notch. Will have to go back and forth for awhile comparing it with Crinacle's standard EQ, but I'll at least be using this EQ situationally.

Tried the Harman EQ for the FiiO FH3 and felt it was doing way too much with the highs. Just noticed an auto EQ preset tab (how long has this been there?) and found a preset for the FH3 (crinacle) and have to say it's greatly improving the sound for me. Creates better vocal separation without...

Had to come back and thank you for this. I was already happy with my HD58Xs on the Q5K and found it to be an improvement over the ES100, but the Harman response EQ has taken the sound to a whole new level. I've done a bit of comparing using flat EQ with the same preamp to get a good volume...

Eh, I mentioned at the end of my post that if I do this it pauses the music then resumes again. Not a huge deal ultimately as I'm not switching often and if I do I'd drop the volume like crazy first, especially if going from cans to IEMs. But yeah I'll probably post about it on their forum...

Reading the last few pages about tips, I think this post is good to check out for more detail about the FiiO tips. It includes specs and the thought process behind the design and what they intend to accomplish. It's a post from three years ago promoting their tips for the FiiO F9 Pro, but from...

So I didn't know IEMs could be this good, wow. Feel like I've been wasting my time with the cheaper brands that deliver high performance value relative to the cost (I still feel like they are great values for the cost in the 30-50 range and don't want to speak poorly of the specific brands)...

Why does the 5K resume music playback when disconnecting a headphone? I intentionally pause music when taking one out and when I plug another one in music is already playing. So watching Spotify sure enough, if playback is paused and I disconnect the headphone (balanced) the playback is...

Yeah using performance and normal. I manually set to 990 kbps LDAC in dev options but it doesn't seem to make much difference from best effort (looking at bitrate in the app it fluctuates between 420ish and 990, typically floating around 660). Yeah I'll give it a few cycles before making any...

Anybody messed around with standard vs performance mode using IEMs? Wondering if there's any significant benefit for others and how much battery trade-off there is. Been using performance and feel like I'm getting far worse battery from my little bit of usage so far compared to what others...

Yup, thanks for the response, though that's exactly what I was saying I found right after I posted that I couldn't get LDAC working (via edit). I'll edit the post again to make it more clear, but thanks again for the response.

Just got this this thing and only listened to a couple songs on low volume with the default aptX codec with CCA C12 but I can already tell this is going to be better than my ES100. So a couple issues I'm hoping someone can help with: 1) Whenever the 5K reboots (after for instance deselecting a...

@Slater @rkw He got it working guys, thanks! I was just being an idiot as I've owned the thing for over a year and wasn't thinking to put it into pairing mode. I literally just turned it on and searched for it through the app. He made it discoverable, paired it with his phone, installed the...

Will have him try that later, thanks.
