Xduoo XQ50 Pro Bluetooth 5.0 DAC

LDAC is supported so 96k 24 bit IF your phone or player sends LDAC.

You must supply your own power adapter, like the one for a cell phone. Supplied cable plugs into that. Or, if using with a computer, the ‘puter’s USB port supplies the power, so no adapter needed.

The idea here is that this Xduo will be the only, or due to its ability to receive LDAC, the better Bluetooth receiver. You treat it as you would a CD player - hook it into your receiver or amp or headphone amp via analog RCA or digital SPDIF. I’ve just tested it’s RCA out to one of my headphone amps (Schiit Vali, original). Pleasantly surprised to find a wider soundstage and overall more confident sound than going directly out of HiBy R3 3.5 mm jack wired. So much for wired always being superior to BT. We are in a new world.
