Qobuz sound quality is SO good. Search engine is SO bad

New qobuz user here, trying it out with their free 3 month trial. Really wowed by their sound quality vs spotify! Really awesome! But their search engine is ... my god ... So bad!!! I was considering switching but it's kind of a showstopper for me :-(

Qobuz quality much better than spotify with my IEM. Not so much with Airpods

Just trying out Qobuz with their 3 months free trial. I'm pleasantly surprise by the music quality when I use my ZiiGaat Doscinco and Fiio BTR13 as an amp. Same track on qobuz and spotify and qobuz is a clear winner. When I use my airpods 3, not so much, tracks sound similar to me. Is it your experience as well?

Will try tomorrow on my wiim amp ultra, Elac DBR62 and Speedwoofer 10S MKII. Should be interesting

Wiim Amp Ultra and Headphones amp ... Sub is active!

Hey there!

I have a Wiim Amp Ultra and wanted to connect a headphone Amp (Fiio K11R2R). Plugged everyting in, selected the USB out output in the wiim amp. I get my music in my headphones, but the Sub is still active ... ??!! What ??!!

Got this answer from Claude ... Is that accurate??

That's actually a known quirk of the Amp Ultra, not something you're doing wrong. The USB output can run simultaneously with the Sub Out — while switching to USB Out normally mutes the main speaker terminals, WiiM designed the Sub Out to stay live even when audio is routed to USB. So your FiiO K11 gets the signal for headphones, but the subwoofer output never gets muted alongside it.

Shangling m1 plus doesn't respect folder structure?

Hi there!

Just bought the Shangling M1 plus. I like to browse my music via folders as I always found meta tags never give me what I want. So I've organized my folders by genres (Jazz, Rock, Ambient, etc.) and then inside by aritsts and albums. When I scan and when I browse by folders, the list I see is all over the place. Some folders are retained like jazz but some albums or artists randomly appear at the top level. It makes the whole folder browsing completely unusable. Am I missing something? Is this a normal behavior?

Hard to choose between HIDIZS AP80 Pro MAX / HiBy Music R3 II 2025 / SHANLING M1 Plus

Hey there! I want to buy my first DAP and having a hard time choosing between HIDIZS AP80 Pro MAX / HiBy Music R3 II 2025 / SHANLING M1 Plus

Some requirement

  • No Android
  • Smaller not necessarily better. I know the HIDIZS AP80 Pro MAX is the smallest but the 2 other one are not that bigger
  • Battery life between 10 and 15 hours is fine
  • Obviously good sound but I think all 3 have very similar sound
  • 3.5mm and 4.4mm output

I know a lot of you will tell me that it's a matter of preference as they're very similar and match more or less my requirements. But is one of them something you would avoid because of QC or bad support, etc. Trying to find a way to differentiate them :)

Thank you for your help!

Mute microphone during phone call

Hi there!

With my new 2026 Sportage Prestige I can mute my microphone during a phone call using the infotainment screen but is there a shortcut I could use on the steering wheel? It would be much more convenient and safer.

Thank you!

Disable lane changing by default

Hi there!

New owner of a 2026 Sportage Prestige and very happy so far. One thing I don't like is the automatic lane following enabled when I go to cruise control. I just don't like the car to drive for me. I have to disable it via the dedicated button on the steering wheel. I wish I could disable it all together while keeping cruise control and automatic distance with the car in front of me which I really like.

Is it possible?
