Only used with Neutron myself, USB from Hiby R5 and bluetooth LHDC from my Xiaomi Mix 3 Phone. Interesting you hear it different with Local play, I'm guessing flat EQ etc with UAPP

Only used with Neutron myself, USB from Hiby R5 and bluetooth LHDC from my Xiaomi Mix 3 Phone. Interesting you hear it different with Local play, I'm guessing flat EQ etc with UAPP So far it is the weirdest experience in SQ and sources/chains Lol... I discovered that somehow I enjoy more the BT results (in SBC?!) on some songs than the usb connection, while local files sounds different again from same song played through USB on the smartphone... Call it placebo but this things drives me mad Btw I am getting away from the whole MQA thing I believe, and start to think qobuz is somewhat more coherent in SQ (through uapp)... Mad times indeed One thing though, I supposed you had the option to choose between pc or smartphone/tablet when using USB DAC function in order to cut away current/recharge while on mobile, instead it still drains battery from my smartphone when connected... Is it the same for other users here? If so, I guess the "traffic" in current won't be giving positive impact on SQ, so maybe getting better power (as most amp does when charging) but at the same time having noise from current flow .. any ideas?

Good as they ever were as apart from being discontinued as nothing's changed on the software side Secondary market pricing no idea. If looking for one as a sole source R2R2K is a hard sell due to the players limited functionality nor is the player best suited for BT streaming due it's limited codecs. For less than $800 the A&K SR25 would likely serve far better as it's an extremely well balanced and flexible DAP with musical sound signature. R2R Dac's in a portable player all come at a premium with the R2R2K only likely to increase in price due to the small numbers produced. Q-6
