Is the 4.4mm a real Pentaconn dual amps channel that requires individually wired speakers, including the negative?

Yes, all our products that feature 4.4mm outputs are fully balanced designs. Thanks!

Trying to stack my HIP DAC with a Sony NW-A105 playing Apple Music. When I play Apple Music nothing plays on the HIP DAC.

Anyone know what I can do?
Isn’t that device already a DAP with its own DAC built in? Are you able to play any other services with an external DAC attached?

I might be wrong, but I'm not sure whether this DAP can output digital audio via USB.

Doesn't this require a 'special' usb cable before it outputs a signal. I know my A40 and ZX300 do. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called but it was a bit pricey.

Edit: It's the WMC-NWH10 cable

Thanks, good to know that it works and I stand corrected, NW-A105 outputs digital audio indeed :)
