I'm thinking of getting this to use with lcd i4. I'm thinking the on board eq will be useful

I got my T71 today. Added my Sundara PEQ setting and did alot of other configs. Changed to 2.0 and 384KHz. I like to have the EQ build in and be able to use it also on my Macbook Pro. But I can't really hear a difference in the sound quality between the 300€ T71 and the 30€ Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S V2. The Sundaras might be the limiting factor and they will get replaced with something better but that there is no difference makes the Sharkoon and amazing cheap and super small DAC dongle. The T71 has abit more power unbalanced and ofc the option for much more power balanced.
Am I understanding correctly that the main use of the T71 multichannel audio feature is to do a better job downmixing from 7.1 to 2ch, primarily for games and movies? What about Dolby Atmos Music (e.g. Tidal, Apple Music) - is the T71 able to process those streams as well?
Is out app for android T71 or not?
T71 has 4x dual-channel amp chips, hence the up to 8-channels capability. The balanced output is 2-channel (stereo) but being balanced, it uses 4 of the 8 amp: L+/L- and R+/R-.I understand it's an 8-channel output for surround sound using the USB-C being able to tweak each channel independently but what about the balanced output? How does that work? Does it utilize all the channels?
This is all software processing, the end result is a 2-channel signal (surround processed into stereo) routed to the balanced output.how it achieves surround sound using the balanced outputs
My understanding is that the T71 IEM uses 8-channels but not for surround purpose, it is an active 4-way IEM: each one the DD (1 per side) and BA (3 per side) is connected to one of the T71 channel/amp. Compare it to QX-over, which is an active 2-way IEM. The T71 IEM should be released on Qudelix store… soon!The Ame IEMs will be the only option available to use the 8-channel configuration through the USB-C output (which I don’t even know if they ship worldwide and it should be available on the Qudelix website as I don’t understand Chinese)
That should work… Good luck with the soldering of 8x individual cable cores to the BAs and USB-C connector!creating my own custom IEMs ( this can be easily done as you need 4 dual BAs with no crossover )

I secretly hope so too… but doubt it: there is still only a single nozzle output into your ear canal. That’s the only thing your ear “sees” (hear…). Whether it is a traditional 1xDD/3xBA, or an active version, what difference does it make from a surround, soundstage standpoint?My idea (and hope) however is the opposite, namely that the T71-IEMs will be used to obtain a sort of surround effect.

Now, there are plenty of other benefits with an active 4-way IEM, such as the option to play with the filter parameters or even turn off drivers and compare 1, 2, 3, or 4-way settings. I don’t know what Qudelix is going to implement, but I’m eagerly waiting !!!
where's 1.4.3? i've only got 1.4.1 showing up to update to.FW 1.4.3
They have added DSD64/128 support.
WOW !!
My ROON client see this capability only in 2.0 mode.
I will continue to investigate.
Yeah, but with a home theater, you have multiple speakers around you... Your brain re-constructs a 3-D image based on all the “clues” from these speakers, it involves the ear canal, but also the pinna, torso (for bass), and the head micro-movements (to "auto-focus" on some sound image details).Given that I don't understand it at all, I thought that with a classic home theater system you always have the 'limit' that the ear canal is always the same, and yet you manage to obtain a sense of 'spatiality'.
How?
Probably working on delays, phases, volume differences etc.
Here, with the right mathematical algorithms, perhaps the 'same' effect could be achieved, focusing on the fact that all the IEM drivers can be driven independently.
It's just a hypothesis of course.
