![]() the 4 in many cases, especially with higher impedance headphones. Despite the higher OI of the 5S, I'm guessing it's got higher gain and more power output vs. ![]() ![]() Sort of a tricky issue, since loudness has to do with power, but the amp is providing voltage, but which max voltage can and does change depending on the load impedance. I'm also going to measure the max voltage output into various resistances of both the 5S and 4 to see if it can shed some light on the question of which can get "louder". But I'm going to be off shift and back to days starting Tuesday and will get things setup then. My schedule (graveyard shifts) and the nature of the shift work this rotation hasn't really allowed it. Still doesn't stop me from being very interested in one of the DAC/Amp combos that will work with the straight digital out of the iPhone Lightning connector, though! LOL!įinally, I haven't soldered up my test jig for the OI measurements. I'm so happy with those Ety's! And I'm really pleased that they also work quite well straight out of the 5S, no outboard amp needed. And the Ety ER-4S is significantly better. In particular, I'm hoping that the volume bar disappears in iOS7 just like with the CEntrance HiFi M8 and Sony PHA-1.īack to the iPhone 5S audio output, I'm really impressed with the SQ of my Senn HD-595's straight out of the iP5S. I'm looking forward to reviews of the C5D. No reason you couldn't make (or a company couldn't make) a CCK with a male micro-USB termination instead of a female USB-A socket. Only issue for me is the idea of two cables. So if you DID have a DAC/Amp combo, you'd be set.Īnd, I just found out that JDS Labs is now offering a C5D! Which is a DAC/Amp combo, with the amp section just being the C5-only slightly better (lower output impedance- 0.6 ohms or something instead of 2.2) and it will work, native digital stream out via UAC1 protocol, with an iPhone running iOS7 via the Camera Connection Kit. The person who mentioned it earlier said it could even output hi-res audio (higher than the DAC can handle or iOS will allow, anyway) through the lightning digital out of a 5/5C/5S. Got tons of 5 star ratings and it is only $5.99 for the full version and there is a free version. I know I was wondering about it before/during my upgrade from iP4 to iP5S.Īs for players, someone earlier mentioned Tuneshell and I just looked it up on iTunes. I'm sure you knew this already but I (a) wanted to hear your thoughts/impressions, and (b) wanted to mention it in case others didn't know it. I read that the DAC in the lightning to 30 pin adaptor is on a par with the built in DACs (it's a Wolfson, IIRC) so you could always do 30 pin adaptor->LOD->amp.
