To those using the impedance adapter, why is my phone unable to go to high impedance mode if I connect it through
Short 3.5mm extension cable -> Impedance adapter -> IEM
However when I connect
Impedance adapter -> short 3.5mm extension cable -> IEM ,
then will I be able to go into high impedance mode.
I wanted to connect through the first method as the impedance adapter sticks out quite alot from the jack and using the short 3.5mm extension cable first can help eliminate this issue, as I can bend the short cable.
Am I doing it wrong? How should I connect it? Or I have to live with the protruding impedance adapter?
PS: For the first method, I have tried connecting the 3 together first then plugging it into the headphone jack but still unable to make it to high impedance mode.
For the second method, the moment I plug the impedance adapter first, it automatically goes into high impedance mode, so no issue regardless of the order I insert into the jack.
I guess you got it all wrong and confused about the whole thing .
Regardless first and foremost The impedance adapter shouldn't be there after the high gain mode has Been activated .
Let me try to further explain it simple without pic .
First , do not insert anything into the V20 yet .
Plug the impedance adapter into the 3.5 extender , now you should have both Jack together as one as a single pair,
Note: plug the impedance adapter into the 3.5 extender , not the other way around.
The first end should be the 3.5 extender ( female ) , the impedance adapter should be the second ( male ) .
after that Plug the end of the 3.5 extender jack directly into the V20 , go to settings hifi dac to double check if the high impedance gain mode has been activated .
If activated , pull out ONLY the impedance adapter from the 3.5 extender ( Do not pull out the 3.5 extender ) , and LEAVE just the 3.5 extender in the V20 , now you should have only the 3.5 extender left plugged in the V20.
And then finally Plug your Iem / headphones into the 3.5 extender , now you should left only with the 3.5 extender + Iem in the V20 .
( NO impedance adapter )
go to settings hifi dac to confirm if the high gain mode stay , it should.
That's the way , very simple . The impedance adapter is meant just to be used to activate the high gain mode , it's not meant to be used after the high gain mode kicks in , you have to unplug the impedance adapter out from the 3.5 extender after the activation of the ( high gain mode ) kicks in , so that you can plug in your iem/headphone into the remaining 3.5 extender which is still stay plugged in on the V20 .
Hope you have a better understanding after my explanation .
Let us know the results .
