Things are looking grim for the Nothing Phone (4b) – to have a fighting chance, the phone needs a price cut and it needs it now. The results from last week’s poll show this quite clearly. Even if the phone gets good reviews – and that’s a big “if” given its specs – few people would be converted into fans. What went wrong? Well, in last week’s poll we compared the (4b) to the Nothing Phone (4a) – but one commenter says that we should have compared it to the older Nothing Phone (3a). Oof. There are many pain points…

Lossless audio is more accessible than ever, with streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon Music Unlimited offering access with low-cost monthly subscription services. Reaping the benefits of high-fidelity recordings is still tricky. Play lossless files through lossy means and introduce compression or resampling, and you’d miss out on their added detail. A cheap USB-C digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is all you need to get the best possible audio quality from your smartphone. To be clear, your phone already has a DAC. Depending on your smartphone model, that DAC might already support high-resolution lossless music playback. The issue lies…
