[QUOTE="GoldCountryCA, post: 8869093, member: 690466"] Hello, I have a Kenwood DNR1008RVS head unit. I’d like to get hi res audio to the head unit, but there’s a lot of confusing stuff out there. At first I was told to get rid of my apple phone because android supports LDAC Bluetooth. I don’t really need to use Bluetooth anyway. Wired is perfectly fine with me. Then, I watched some videos about how android passes audio through components in their phones that alters quality and supposedly iPhones do not. Then… I read about supported file types and iPhones do seem to be limited compared to the galaxy s24ultra I was comparing it to. [B]What is the best solution?[/B] I was looking at dedicated DAPs that can run streaming apps like quboz or tidal when I came across dongle DACs. So far this is what I’m considering: 1. Existing iPhone 12 Pro Max and buy a dongle DAC (though I’m unsure which dongle DAC) 2. Buy a FIIO M11S DAP 3. Buy a Samsung s24 ultra and buy a dongle DAC (or not buy dongle DAC if usb-c connection directly to HU is appropriate) The most expensive option is the FIIO M11S, as I will be getting $1000 off the samsung. Though, at this point, I’m not as concerned with the cost, provided it’s not some crazy $1500+ DAP. I want the best audio experience, don’t mind a wired connection and want to have a device that’s enabled to stream from a hi-res source and play locally stored files. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
