NOTE: for music if you have a music player that by-passes that android volume thing.

Even with my sensitive IEM the volume of the apple dongle sucks in my Youtube and movies

Depends on the construction and materials but generally yes. Glue melts and excessive sun to leather can cause cracking. Though leather do need conditioning every once in a while. Just to be safe go with air dry.

Reply to Is this min-maxing obsession or are there benefits to be had by tweaking things on the OS or digital side and using 'audiophile' footers? by Orangutan_Ulti

That's the reason I never came back to Head Fi. Those pseudoscience and the Tyll and NwAvGuy drama.

Reply to what features could future amps/dacs have that can make them better than what's available today? by 2ndRoundExit

I prefer listening to portable. I am already satisfied with what I own but I would love if they somewhat made a miracle dongle that doesn't lose its connection when it my phone is in my pocket. Also, an audiophile level dongle (not a thumb drive style) that has mic support. Like Meizu Hifi Pro, which they discontinued.

Edit: or better yet. Bring back the good ol' headphone jack, but with abs.

Must've been hell for radio listeners before the age of the internet to find those bands they liked. Like The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet

Again, I don't have issue with bitrate. I'm fine with 320kbps even 192. I have issues with YouTube compression. As you said, indie bands do not have the best production, but compressing it makes it worse.

THWIP is not the band, that's the name of the album. The duo was Two Chilekings. And THWIP is their one and only album. Though the bassist was relatively active (RIP)
