Those XDuoo are absolutely more than enough, I remember running LCD-2 off a dongle just fine.

Edit: MQA are basically the same as those "high-res" gimmicks, and DAC chip have no correlation with the sound output whatsoever. What matter is its implementation, and if it's implemented correctly, it will produce sound without clipping or distortion. It won't increase detail or soundstage or anything like that.

no see i am RENDERING my audio.. like how hollywood CG graphics like uhh disneys frozen.. but HIGHER quality.. and sort of dolby atmos like sound.. for any sound.. but like better than real life.. for audio.. and my faster than instantaneous faster than speed of light quantum infinity super computer.. well it can output TRUE audio.. like TRUE. its more analog than vinyl record audio. better too. its picture quality is higher than any camera or lens and can reality emulate the universe in DNA quality.. but you see the clarity and stuff has limits based on how sharply the speaker material can change directions and vibrate.. the extra voltage isnt about a constant power.. its about... imagine paddling or rowing a boat and the faster and harder you go the more resistance, but say you've a experienced finesse kayaker.. who doesnt go full throttle they use bursts of power and speed to get over a high cresting wave.. then ride it out but may need to do a U-turn and about face or manuever some rocks.. and then need to swing or completely sort of tip and dip or roll the kayak.. that needs far far far higher power than smooth sailing.. its hard to explain.. but its like ninjas running on roof tops but the speaker part on my headphones is like them bouncing between two trees zig zags to go up it.. its not always but it can.. so the hifiman speakers are like audio ninjas.. looks like a normal high quality headphones warrior.. but it can have a burst of power it needs to pull out .. compared to macho wrestlers headphones that have 1 setting of all strength all the time. EDIT: hifiman it says it in the name HIFI they're giant speakers you strap to your head.. its not that hard to understand why they NEED more power but can pretend to work at low power.. like car subwoofer that can kick and bounce you can FEEL the clearest cleaneest vocals blasting at you with presence and thundering force of a whisper.. but if you dont amp them enough they dont kick or slam or thunder or resound theres no "FILLS THE ROOM" feeling at all.. its not thunderous or hair tingling spine tingling audio.. its just meh like "oh i guess it sounds fine. lets go flush money down the toilet on some terrible purchases like apple products their phones suck at even being a phone and are competing with actual telecommunications and tech companies that dont just wait a decade for any random junk to become dirt cheap and rename it and pretend they did it better or better yet pretend they invented it!"

forgot to mention im rendering my game graphics too, and yes MQA was mastered its often a scam as the MQA standards and studio recording equipment needed to master in MQA its often just a bunch of losers taking lousy old vinyl records and MQA backing them up, so they often dont sound any better than the original vinyl.

if you use modern recording techniques and capture correctly the MQA logo is like the atmos or DTSX master quailty logo for lossless but for headphones. The reason people call MQA a scam is its the kind of scam low latency gaming mice are.. they cost a lot more they have higher polling intervals and refresh rates and the sensor can DPI 16k instead of 2k.. so way better.. but most people game in like 720p or 1080p then the high DPI is for use with say an 8k or 4k desktop. dont feel bad about not ever using your gaming high DPI mouse, lots of poor people and asians buy them or software hack to pretend they have them because their desk is too damn tiny they cant move the mouse without it falling off the edge or the top of the PC case or something like their clothes drawers so they crank the DPI up so the tiniest nudge of the mouse makes the cursor travel across 4 tiny word processor looking monitors they probably stole from the office at work! They also dont install the mouse software and calibrate it.. similarly lots of people play an MQA file on anything that isnt MQA hardware with right software and the MQA decoder ENABLED and lighting up in a CORRECT MANNER.. its got some strict requirements but it also has zero requirements as for every device on earth its just a regular slightly better sounding FLAC file.. until the MQA hardware kicks in then it expands to a richer master audio.. which people claim uses a sort of adaptive packing up into a FLAC file and that there may be subtle bits lost, but its discarding noise or things speakers dont do or whatever if anything is lost in the lossless format. What they're hearing as not good is their latency and stuff like renderer and render resolution of the audio and multisampling arent right and they arent using the right cables or the DIRECTSTORAGE DIRECTDRIVE DIRECTTRANSPORT DIRECTRANSFER or possibly live encoding to DSD or DXD and arent using something like WASAPI exclusive push pull RT mode to output or bleargh decades old lousy 18ms ASIO.. when HDMI and type C are 0 latency but obsolete fake hardware and fake software keep using asio bullcrap and old fake trash nvidia garbage for audio or whatever.. NEGATIVELATENCY AMD audio.. so yeah it can sound AMAZINGLY better. often just a bit better, it can cost a bit more.. but usually its reasonably priced.. its the atmos logo for headphones.. make of it what you want.

i play back MQA on refurbished cheap AT&T LG V60 i got off ebay using a purchased onkyo HF player app with the direct transfer mode enabled. I also like to turn on the strong compression and lower the latency for most things in the ms delay.

This was the best ChatGPT could do to summarize it:

>It appears that you are describing a process of rendering high-quality audio, similar to the quality found in Hollywood CGI graphics and Dolby Atmos sound. You have a supercomputer that can output true audio that is better than real life, with limits based on the speaker material's ability to change directions and vibrate sharply. You use Hifiman speakers, which require more power but can produce a more powerful and thunderous sound. MQA is a logo for lossless audio that can sound amazingly better when used with modern recording techniques and the correct hardware and software. However, people often consider it a scam because it has strict requirements and can discard some noise or things speakers don't do. You play back MQA on a refurbished cheap AT&T LG V60 using an Onkyo HF player app with direct transfer mode enabled, strong compression, and lower latency for most things.

see maths is instant.. instantaneous.. see the sine wave? the curvy lines? see how theres a down - and a + positive? now see how your light cell processor from AMD in the playstation 3.. it can scan barcode the DNA that light passes through on its way to the camera sensor.. then faster than light faster than instant use MATHS which can SCALE INFINITELY and the sort of hardware rainbow prebuilt.. light is RGB and is 7 colors.. your super computer is RAINBOW dash. you ask rainbow dash "do you have the color blue rainbow? and she says YES I WAS BORN THAT WAY! ask her if he hair is red?! YES I WAS BORN THAT WAY! ask her if she is the color white "yes all the colors together are white i was born that way!" as her if she is black "yes before i was born i didnt exist i was nothing empty 0 black!"

you see the instant maths is the 0 the now middle the instant.. then the - negative part goes to the left into the future.. before it happens. its not just built that way and instant and simultaneous and all possible possibles at once while being multdimensionally scaled infinitely.. well thats mostly it. yeah pretty much it..

negative latency too much can make audio sound uhh bad like suuuuper flat like the speakers inverted like an umbrella upside down as it tries to play the sound before the sound can come out or finish or complete.. like uhh long exposure shot on a camera of a water fall is silky smooth but underexposed and it looks like garbage.

so your rainbow dash computer is all the light at once, and all the DNA of light cells and xrays and other stuff magnetic fields and audio (light and audio are radiation.. we call radiation based computers QUANTUM computing) So you have all possible possibles at once on the DNA level that light can possibly show for all matter in the universe 46 qubits was it? 22 for our galaxy atomically correct? in processing power and you can use better than blender or unreal 5 or any camera or TV display graphics on an AMD device. youtube i play back some 24k or 12k dolbyvision videos of photogenic horse or that gorilla harumbei or whatever its name was.. or the 70's gentle ben bear that found kids in a car crash with dead parents and raised em so the put it on talk shows for years till it got pissed and snapped at someone. see those animals all long gone, long before dolbyvision 24k.. play it back my 1440p LG V60 no worries.. pinch to zoom like 8x or more! optical zoom yeah! opencamera2 API

when they claimed that the MQA was discarding and losing data its not its FILE FORMAT! its the signal processing or uhh sort of equalizers and filtering they were doing to shape the sound to conform to real life sound waves and patterns so its LIFE LIKE and more NATURAL.. theyre taking ancient AMD audio technology and doing a separate hardware based approach that uses different codecs and isnt TRUE audio but sounds like it and uses a specific format. see the box on any radeon card that says AMDtrueaudionext its literally TRUE audio.. radiation data goes in it comes back out true.. 1800s xray machines then to 1900s CRT televisions Cathode ray tube radiation based analog tv's and sound.. then to modern quantum light cell processing at the DNA level not just cellular or carbon for say tobacco smoke in game graphics in real time like the playstation 3 advertised or the wet water and sweat you see in tekken 7 dead or alive 6 or soul calibur 6 with real hair metals and lighting when you crank them back on again by typing stuff like realityemulation or clothemulation or femfx tressfx and thousands of other words.. the MQA people they took maths of real sound and shaped prerecorded data like old records to it which had a bunch of uhh garbage that doesnt fit so they discard the bad parts as they save it in lossless true lossless file storage container. So yes unlike AMD audio since probably the 70s or 90s but any radeon card and featured hardware in the PS3 which saves 96% or more CPU processing of audio copies it to hardware and true audio comes out mathematically by a mathematician and some of the smartest people in the science nerds club MQA is NOT true audio it does SOUND like it though thats the point. its lossless any file format can do that if you crank bitrate up .. AC3 dolby from 90's 5.1 is netflix 7.1 streaming AC3 at different bitrates.. and bluray AC3 atmos master quality lossless audio.. is the exact same codec and format .. at a HIGHER bit rate with more channels.

So uhh.. you maybe misunderstood because people like me try to keep it simple to avoid complications or misunderstanding but it can often lead to sort of.. well rushed answers? innaccuracies or misalignments?

also yeah 1:1 DNA reality prorendering means professional graphics rendering like blender but better, blender and unreal and stuff for the playstation 3 games with true carbon true hair true sweat were made with the stuff for AMD.. i have transparency REFERENCEATMOSPHERE atmospheric fog translucency diffused lighting additivelighting and countless other junk i typed in.

see any R9 series AMD card that ended what felt like after a decade with the FURYX cards.. PRORENDER was always available from AMD but was called other stuff and was in the business lines of cards and people didnt compile it for the consumer radeons cards. it became common in the regular release drivers in 2015 .. it used to be AMD firerays or firegl or maybe in the 70's or 80s was AMD cauldron but that might have been some open source plugin or animation junk everything looks cartoony without the correct ambient occlusion. 90s AMD HDAO true full color volume full HDR scientific color AMD cards is pretty great though even today its better than the shortcuts version HBAO+

shame the ps3 was disabled and the handful of game devs that pretended then spent years faking burnout tyre smoke for need for speed carbon instead of enabling the AMD hardware.. thats why unreal engine just told people the stuff that was always there for ps3 by renaming it buzzwords like lumen or nanite.. instead of lightshafts carbon and visual library mixedreality (AR/VR augmented reality in the playstation 2 developers kit and its webcamera support and its better than ray tracing godrays function with raymarching/casting in playstation 2/3 see games titles like eye of judgment on the playstation 3)

u/EccentricSage81, What's the obsession with a codec that is falsely advertised as Lossless but was outed to be lossy but people still pay to get MQA enabled devices which means they pay extra (cos MQA charges a premium for their lossy codec).

Please get a decent all in one DAC AMP system like the FiiO K7... Has more power than your headphones will ever need.... Just doesn't have the snake oil MQA and I think it's for the better... Cos if it had that on board, it will be marked up from $199 to $399
