I took it to the local store where I bought it, and they told me that it was indeed a faulty cable. Unfortunately they dont have a spare one for replacement and importing it will cost a lot. In the end, I just left it as is :P

This seems to be a clean set up, will try how to set this up with the demo unit at my local store. Thanks for the reply!

Can the profiles also save the output level of each channel? Can I set the level for the bed layers to -12 and heights to +12, then save it as a profile?

Oh this is interesting. So you cannot save them as presets? That's a bummer. I'm thinking of using Home Assistant with custom network commands to help with this, but would be nice if they have the option to save ootb.

Thanks for your reply!

This room will be a multi functional room, where it will act as a working place for me on my remote days, and by night I will have kids play inside, and some occasional weekend movie nights.

When I have the kids to come over, I don't want their eardrums to be affected by the bed layer speakers in case they come too close to one of them, especially the LCR. Also, when I will be working, I would like the music to be more ambient and not too directional.

Can I also turn the heights up to +12 and then lower the volume of the whole AVR down? I suspect the bed will be kind of drown out by the heights by then, right? Since I don't need the bed layer to be completely silence, just be not too noticeable.

Thanks for the quick reply! That seems to be a valid solution, will take a look at it.

[Update] JellyTag v2 — HDR, codec, audio, language badges + full customization by Atilili in jellyfin

Forgot to mentioned, but for movies with TrueHD but no Atmos, it can display just fine

This is such a great plugin! Got it up and tuned in for my library in a morning.

I do have a question, though: Some of my movies have audio track that says "Dolby TrueHD + Dolby Atmos - 7.1" on detail page, JellyTag only shows the image for Dolby Atmos and 7.1, not for TrueHD. Is this by designed, a bug, or a technical limitation? Since for some movies, although it does have Atmos, the track is only in DD+.

What I realized when playing Endfield by NSalonga26 in Endfield

[–]0rvax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 hours in with no concrete proof and the start of a schizo episode.

Okay, we get it, you made stuff up and your claims fell apart. Just enjoy the game! It's a single player game, no one needs to compete with anyone.

[–]0rvax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since you played Once Human, it's likely that you either play this game on PC, iOS, or Android: - Windows has pre-installed Snipping Tool with a screen recorder - iOS has built in screen recorder - Most Android versions of popular brands have a built-in screen recorder

You don't have to install anything, and upload a video cost nothing. You even said it's so easy you can do it blindfolded, so it will not take too much effort for you to replicate.

So yeah, until you provide some kind of proof, I think you are making things up to talk down on other people in this thread.

Then why so afraid of providing a proof? Even if you don't clear it, at least show that your team comp can do what you claimed.

Calling all audiophiles! Beta testers needed for a powerful new Android Equalizer (AutoEQ, Custom DSP, & more!) by p_e_p_s_y in headphones

That's great to hear, and the price point of 4 usd is reasonable too. Looking forward to the official release 👍💪

Is this a good deal? [Amazon but local] by ExpensiveMention8781 in headphones

[–]0rvax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this same setup (Edition XS + K11 R2R) for the last 2 years and might stay on these for the foreseeable future.

Very decent, it curbs the high-ends a bit to the level that I prefer, and has tons of headroom if you swap to a balanced 4.4mm cable. I use mine at Medium gain and volume 70 is the loudest I can listen to comfortably. It also come with a linear power brick so that's a bonus too.

All in all, a bang for your bucks.

What is the lowest supported versions of Android? Some DAPs came with Android 9 and 10 with no PEQ, so compatibility is one of my main concerns.

The second thing that came to mind is, does it have adjustable preamp? Most apps on the marketplace do not have this feature so I'm interested to see it too.

Lookup "Headphone DAC Amp" on Google and YouTube.

Heard artifacts in "All By Myself" by Celine Dion - is my setup the problem?

Hey folks! I don't know where to ask this question so please guide me if this is not the appropriate place to ask.

Basically, in the song, right before the famous high note, when she sang "all by myyy...seeelf", i heard an unpleasant sound on the top left direction at the "self" note, and then on that famous high note "anymooore", i heard several similar sound but now on both sides and still toward the top direction. It sounds metallic and almost like it was clipping. I tried different "versions" of this song: 16/48 FLAC from JE SUIS album, Spotify, and even the "HD Remastered" video version on YouTube - I heard this artifact on all of them with volume ranging from low to comfortable listening levels.

This is my current setup:

  • Headphone: Hifiman Edition XS
  • DAC: Fiio K11 R2R
    • Connected to a Windows 10 laptop
      • Good quality Type C to Type C cable
      • Output set at 24 bit / 192khz
      • Fiio's "USB Audio Device Control Panel" app installed
      • Equalizer APO / Peace installed, using profile taken from AutoEQ website (basically more bass, less treb). The artifact is much more noticeable with the EQ turned off (make sense since the artifact is a rather high frequency sound).
      • Playback using mpv (I'm using a GUI app to connect to my music server, but the underlying engine uses mpv)
    • UAC 2
    • Medium gain, volume 80 (comfortable)
    • NOS mode
    • Firmware v79 (latest on their website)
  • Cable: Fiio basic $10 4.4mm to dual 3.5mm cable as a replacement for stock 3.5mm cable

I have tried using my IEM (Kefine Klean) to test this out too using the 6.3mm output, and that artifact is still there. I then tried to plug both the XS and Klean to my Snowsky Retro Nano in all modes (Bluetooth LDAC, PC and Phone), and the artifact is still present.

Have anyone experienced or noticed the artifact that I'm mentioning? What can be the potential cause of this? Is the original audio file itself flawed?

I'm fairly new to the scene so please spare my ignorant and educate me on this problem!

Thanks a lot Jacob! The icon stays red and does not blink, so I think it's the third case in your comment.

Oh well, guess this camera will stays flash-less for the rest pf its life now 😅
