IMO, no.
Itās better suited for the DSP in Appleās own headphones, and Iām guessing you get a down sampled multi channel mix when itās not a DSP device.

Picture from Verge shows it may be same format and language as Primephonic, which was great. Iāll be cking the Android when it comes out.

makes sense theyāre using anything Primephonic could help with after the acquisition. Iāve never used it so wouldnāt know. I actually donāt use Apple Music but will be curious to try this out, mostly for the playlists and discovery.
@orrman Iāve not used Apple either, but loved Primephonic. Their search functions, suggestions and new release info were all great.
Donāt know if Apple will match their sound quality. Weāll see.

Small Green Computer has released a new version of their sonicTransporter i7. Might be a good option for those who donāt want to build their own NUC server box.

This is very cool of them. I wonder how noticeable those changes are but nonetheless should be encouraged and I hope more companies follow
āApple has since confirmed ā¦ that there wonāt be an iPad version of the Apple Music Classical app. More annoyingly, it wonāt support offline downloads at launch; youāll need a data connection at all times to stream.ā
That sucks.
In the video, Alvin goes over some of the changes. A lot of the time domain sync stuff has been corrected. I guess this was a bigger issue with stuff connected to denafrips dacs that had itās own clockā¦denafrips fifo buffer would stutter occasionally (iāve never experienced that issue).
Also, there was mention to a better interface between the FPGA and the DSP. Im sure that probably would make an audible difference.

I saw the email earlier.
The adapter connection is pretty awesome.
Thatās been a nice trend on iem cables, even higher end ones, wonder why it isnāt used on headphone cables or if thereās too much sonic detriment at that size

Yeah, Iām not really sure. It is a thinner gauge on IEMās, but my default answer is that theyād sell less cables, haha.
Honestly donāt know about that, if anything that would make them a more unique option in the headphone market driving more sales. IMO thatās the only reason outfits like hart got popular even though their cables suck
Probably because itās expensive to implement right and if done wrong would be a warranty headache. This looks elegant. Would love to see it in action.
