Audiophile here. Any noticeable loss in sound quality when using this?

I'm no audiophile, but I've only heard a distinct drop in quality on my phone. At my computer, streaming music through Google Play, though, it's identical to my ears.

I haven't noticed any, but I use it as an extention cable for my XBox One headphones.

Not that I can tell. I use a fairly good set of headphones and with the extension, I can't tell any difference. I use it at my desk daily. The jack holds my earphone plug firmly and there is no slipping or static when I tug on it.

I agree totally with Karen. You don't lose quality of sound, but you do lose a lot of volume.

I often use a DAC and headphone amp for lossless and lossy files. The One has as good a DAC, at least for recording, way better than a lot of "portable" DACs out there. For critical listening, depending on your tastes and budget, you may still prefer an audiophile grade DAC.

Yes there is a loss in volume as in effect in loss in volume well of course weaken bass/sound. I just bought a head phone jack amplifier for like 20$ and problem was solved. The docking sounds the best with quality is amazing.

I'd love to help but I haven't noticed this issue...admittedly I am not a serious audiophile..........

The Bluetooth does degrade the sound. I would never use it for an audiophile listening experiance. As far as I'm concerned nothing comes close to vinyl but this is great for general listening & you can always make it sound better with eq and it does sound better with the digital coax.

Hello Tim. From my experience, there is no volume or quality loss using this product with my TV and desktop tower. However, I have only used one earphone and have not experimented with other earphones.

No, sound quality is still excellent. Try moving it to another location just in case you are picking up interference from something else nearby.

Yes you would have degradation of the sound quality (it might not be that noticeable though)

I'm not an audiophile, so I can't answer specifically to your question about being better. But, I believe that's a preferential thing. I personally am using it as just a center channel speaker in a 7.1 surround sound setup in my home theater. and, I love it along with everybody else that comes over.

Not necessarily. Sometimes it may seem that you lose some bottom end but, not really "tone". Not that I'VE noticed anyways. I read somewhere that when mic'ing an amp, sometimes the floor can have an adverse effect on the sound. I'm guessing it's a matter of taste.

This is subjective (I didn't measure it), but it seems at least as loud as using a wired connection. I say "at least as loud" because it seems to me that it might be marginally louder. The sound quality is definitely good. I haven't noticed any distortion or loss in quality.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

Well I've had it for just a month so far and have used it excessively, but no problems with audio. I generally trust Sony as a brand.

I always transfer the file to a computer and listen from there. I've never had any problem with feedback noise.

Well if you mean in terms of hearing, no...you won't hear any difference for basic use. But in terms of pure sound quality, a headphone output always lowers the quality of the music, hence why most audiophiles use an actual audio interface from their computers! Hope that helps!

It's good. My last system required turning the center speaker up. Occasional increase in treble but really rarely notice missing dialogue. You can always turn surround off, but we never do. Hope that helps. Watching Bourbe Legacy now.
