Yeah, but if I'm in the other app and change the volume again, it will be in the larger increments of normal Android, but as long as I don't touch the volume controls it will stay at that finer-tuned level.

You can use the screen slider with a pencil type gadget to be more precise instead of the buttons, if that helps.
I'll try that, that might actually work thanks!

No prob.
FYI if you ever decide to try out the wireless buds, you get a tailored app with additional creature comforts.
Maaaybe down the road, I JUST bought these ones and they sound really good so it'll likely be a while. I will say though, I just tried out a couple of the external DACs via the USB C port just to see what the difference was vs the mini plug and I gotta be honest... I'm not sure if the S10 has decent internal processing but the DACs didn't add much. One was almost no difference, the other was slightly larger and warmed everything up a bit. But it was not nearly the benefit I was expecting.

I don't even know if a S10 (???) is still supported.
I'm on a S22... they have a Dolby atmos button now. Much better sound feature built in
Yeah this one has that button too, it's pretty much got the same OS as the 22, but mine is starting to go. I find the Atmos button works great with some tunes, but really changes the timber too much for me on others. But again, I think my internals are starting to go, so that could be a glitch.

One of the worst kept secrets in audio is that DACs don't actually differ by very much performance-wise, regardless of cost. They can certainly vary by features, though.

After a minor schedule setback, I’m ready to rumble in using the Mac Mini as a server. I’ll need to load up Audirvana. Can it access the files I have ripped into Apple Music or will I need to extract them somehow?

I have a older version (pre subscription) but should still be similiar. Under Preferences/Library/+/ you can choose/add which drives/folders/locations (multiple) Audirvana will read/sync from.

@bdm105 I bought the Topping D-10s on Amazon for about $105. I got a 10 foot USB A cable for $10 since my receiver is about that far away from my computer. If you're closer, the unit comes with a 3 foot USB cable. Topping also sells a wireless version but I don't really see myself playing the music in any room other than my study.

I wish my system was closer to my PC just to be able to use a USB cable. Now I'm looking into another DAC for my system, the Modi is my desktop DAC, but as it stands, my only option is picking up an original Chromcast, which are getting really expensive. All things I had, but no, we have to keep shuffling the deck, lol.@bdm105 I bought the Topping D-10s on Amazon for about $105.

Not sure what your budget is for a new DAC….but I love my Denafrips Ares. It’s an R2R DAC and I think it sounds excellent. Does DSD but not MQA.

We have 3 things on the list to work on, the DAC is last on the list, but that affords me some time to research
- ?????????
- Headphone Amp - Probably going with the MF
- DAC

After that I'm buying a shock collar and hiring someone to push the button any time I'm looking at any gear, lol.

If I didn’t have the DAC in the preamp I’d be very tempted by the duo of MX-Stream and MX-DAC. As it is I’m likely to just get the MX-Stream and plug it into my preamp with USB.

Not yet but looks interesting. Darko has a review on his site. Basically it needs an external DAC as its guts are not great, so you are not coming to far ahead.Has anyone tried the Wiim Mini ?

I have thought about getting one to play with and connect to a small set of powered bookshelf audioengine speakers in our dinning room.

Maybe more than you want to spend but Bluesound Node has a built in dac (I am happy with it) and it can output to an external dac or go right into your amp.We have 3 things on the list to work on, the DAC is last on the list, but that affords me some time to research

Does not need to connect to your computer, you just stream to it. The Node is about the size of a medium sized hardcover book.
