I am pretty new to the hobby with a lot of time on my hands. I have dabbled in flavor of the month stuff before but never really got into it deeply until recently. My question was in regards to this reddit post. Is it possible or likelv that the innate distortion in this method is what could give the audible difference heard in these samples on that minute population that can hear it. it was interesting to think about enough for me to bring this up while I'm doing my own research and AB testing. I've really been digging in deep about listening to bit perfect audio with android lately and I primarily listen to Apple music as I was turned onto it by my spouse who lives in an Apple ecosystem. I was iust curious about this, I am using UAPP but the lag is not ideal while using the phone. I did iust receive an m300 so I'm excited to try hibys workaround out. I do enioy the fiio stuff I have got but the snowsky nano couldn't pair with bluetooth devices so I'm a little skeptical of their dacs but its a huge leap in price so im sure its unwarranted. I was just curious about the takes in the community on this in general and my solutions, critiques. Its funny that my attitude in bluetooth audio quality has changed to be more relaxed the more I learn given the obfuscation of codecs, bitrate comparisons, compression quality, and the taxing nature of adding another layer of complexity from source->ear. At this point, aptx adaptive when I can and unfortunately based on the devices i primarily use, aptx, sound fine just due to exhaustion. Sorry not my journal but I thought this was interesting Share your thoughts.
