I can now report that the Audioquest Deagonfly Black works perfectly with an iPhone 8 (camera kit converter needed) and has quite a bit more oomph than the Hifime DIY DAC I was using. The dragonfly will support up to 24/96 VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 ->

No, unless you enable an equalizer or use replay gain in LMS, iPeng plays the raw audio up to 96/24 --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Uni

Perhaps looking at it another way - does iPeng “limit” volume in any way? Foobar2000 on the iPhone playing the same flacs seems louder. VB2.4[/B] STORAGE *QNAP TS419P (NFS) [B]Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 -> Celestion F20s *Office* - Pi3+Sreen -> Sony TAFE320 -> Celestion F10s /

Hard to know for certain since it's hard to debug, but I'd be extremely surprised if it's more than 48/16. That's what AirPlay uses (44.1/16 and 48/16 as ALAC) and my guess is iOS transcodes to that before the DAC. There have been comparison tests with older iPhone DACs and the DAC in the adapte
