Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Also do most people use the Onkyo HF Player? Or is there a better alternative.
Looking at the connections on the Schiit gear, and wondering how it hooks up ideally, I assume a Y connector from the lightning dongle to headphone jack.
If you don't want to hook your phone up to the Amp all the time get a Chromecast Audio and stream your FLAC via Plex. I do it and it works wonderfully.
This is why I bought the non DSD NX4.
Maybe the DSD has been updated to support iOS. But I see no indication of that on the Massdrop listing.
Make sure to update post and let us know if cable works with NX4 DSD.
So this confirms that the Topping NX4 DSD does not require a CCK cable to pair with an iphone. It just requires a regular DAC OTG cable as long as it is not designed specifically for the FiiO Q series units. The attached picture is full resolution so the part numbers for the Meenova cables should be legible.
Regards, Hsdrggr ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- edited later. It seems that Massdrop reduces the resolution of photos when uploaded, consequently the part numbers are not readable, so I am adding that info here.
The older Meenova cables were much more flexible than the newer ones. The reason Meenova updated the cable was because there was an iOS update which made the earlier cables non-functional with some iphone/dac combinations. For the Topping NX4 DSD both styles work fine with the iPhone. I like the earlier cable because of its flexibility; if you can find one somewhere, buy it. If not the newer one works just fine.
