Congrats to all the tour winners, great respect to all reviewers - I had great time reading the reviews thread! And thanks to iFi for making yet another great product and for keeping being closely interacting with the community - something many companies are lacking.

You can't have replay gain and bit prefect at the same time. Replay Gain is software signal processing, having it enabled means bit perfect is impossible.

The smallest in this price range AND with the battery I can think of is iFi iDSD Nano (way bigger than the Dragonfly though and requires a (rather) rare USB Type B OTG cable (or a clumsy adapter).    I own and use this one, and it sounds absolutely gorgeous for the size and price, and IMO, WAY...

Thanks, that's what I thought, just could not find any confirmation.

Am I missing it here, or it was not mentioned - what exactly DAC chip is used in the Slim? The same Verita, as in HD? Or a different chip?

  I presume you turned on "Install from unknown sources" in your phone's settings?

  Are you sure it is true for headphone jack as well?    Are there any technical proofs of this? I know Z3 does support natively hi-res output to a USB DAC, but I've always thought internal playback is still downsampled to Android specs (just like UAPP does with its "Play through Android" mode.

Requires some sort of WordPress installation to view the web site - WTH?.. Is it at all safe?

Use volume buttons of your device.

It's good to see that the quest for best quality digital audio on the go goes on! :)   Downloaded and installed your player. A very good project, that has all the chances to eventually turn into a strong contender in the market of custom Android digital audio output.   It certainly still has...

  What's that pin on the right connector??? Sony is doing it again??? Damned proprietary connectors?..

 Well, browsing to a file and editing it every time you connect the USB device is a bit cumbersome for everyday use,, but thanks a lot for pointing to this solution: it may be a saver in an emergency situation, where you need to connect something badly.

  Switched from Samsung Galaxy S3 to Xperia Z1 specifically for the unique ability to charge the phone while using the USB DAC! LOL )    But I agree - flaps are a little... well... annoying! :)

  It may probably be related to the power capabilities of your model. I had similar issues with Xperia Sola, which also had USB OTG feature, but anything that consumes above 100mA, would fail.   Try the following:   1) use a powered USB hub between your Xperia and devices. I. e. Xperia -...

  So is the SQ improvement over using just the iDSD worth the extra bulk and weight, in your view? 

OMG!!! That's one BIG SANDWICH!!! :-))   What are the two devices connected to your Moto G? I gather one is IFI Nano iDSD, what about the other one?

  There are lots of such DACs and even DAC/Amps, but the outcome strongly depends on the Android device, namely on how much current it is capable of providing in OTG mode. And this varies greatly among different devices.   M2Tech HiFace DAC, GeekOut, Resonessence Labs Herus are just very few...

There's stable offer of 128Gb SanDisk MicroSD at US Amazon at around USD110 (tax excluded):   http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B00IIJ6W4S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411029158&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+sd+card+128gb

  We'll have to see the computing power in real-life audio applications. I already tried some "low-proced DAP from a phone" thing, so far - no good...

Another interoperability report here:   Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (Stock ROM, unrooted) ->generic USB OTG cable -> MyST DAC 1866 Ocu V2 -> various serious cans (AT ATH-W1000 Grandioso, Ultrasone Edition 8, Beyer T1p, Philips Fidelio X1       Sorry, the link is all in Russian. MyST is a...

As good, as any other decent player, cause the quality is determined by your phone's sound API and hardware. Which is usually.... well.... you know... :-)

  Thanks, DanBa, for illustrating this. I can only confirm that there are phones out there which can provide full-spec USB current, surprising or not ;-)
