>Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if the FiiO K15 or 17 DACs have popping issues on USB-C like the K19 does once playback stops?
That's some sleep mode feature FiiO puts on some of their stuff. Happens on Windows, didn't seem to happen on Android or Linux, though. Use SoundKeeper to get around that. It'll fool the system into thinking there's audio playing at all times and prevent it from going to sleep mode. Just set it to launch on boot as well.
>The last time I asked I also got a recommendation for Dan Clark Audio Noire X. Is this still a valid recommendation or are there better planar magnetic headphones in the same price class at this point?
DCA recently released Noire XO which is better if you want an open back but it's also 200 dollars more expensive. If you want a closed back then there's nothing better than Noire X at that price point, not even close.
